The Women & Clare Booth Luce

The Variety Attic with Nick & Glenn

Join us, Nick & Glenn, in this Variety Attic short, as we pay tribute to the 1939 Classic - "The Women," based on the famous play by Clare Booth Luce.

We listen to audio clips from this classic celluloid of feminine proportions, featuring Norma Shearer, Lucille Watson, & Mary Boland. We also take a look at the woman behind "The Women," Clare Booth Luce, whose legacy as a public figure could fill numerous volumes.

Revered in her later years as a heroine of the feminist movement, Luce was an American author, politician, U.S. Ambassador and a public conservative figure - such was the great mind behind this brilliant, witty, and indelible film.

For fans of the film, we have two words - JUNGLE RED!
