Ei enää naisia (1935)

Ei enää naisia (1935). Ei enää naisia: Directed by Edward H. Griffith, George Cukor. With Joan Crawford, Robert Montgomery, Charles Ruggles, Franchot Tone. A society girl tries to reform her playboy husband by making him jealous.

“The unoriginal plot, about a rich married couple dealing with problems of infidelity, is secondary here to the clever dialogue by Donald Ogden Stewart, who wrote the screenplay to The Philadelphia Story, and to a strong supporing cast. Joan Crawford is fine, but Robert Montgomery and Franchot Tone, fighting for Crawfordu0026#39;s hand, wind up being nearly indistinguishable from each other, both in looks and in character. That leaves the supporting cast to rescue the film: Charles Ruggles has a fun bit as a slurring drunk and Arthur Treacher comes in at the end as a stuffy Brit who mumbles loudly and misuses American slang. Even Gail Patrick, who isnu0026#39;t normally given much to do in her man-stealing parts, is fine here. But the best is Edna May Oliver, playing the wise and witty matriarch–she steals every scene sheu0026#39;s in and was the main reason I finished watching the movie.”
