I will say this about classic Hollywood: They had to figure out how to make actors say bad words without actually saying them. The insults were much more imaginative as a result.
It treated the audience like they had some intelligence. Like ridiculous "love" scenes. Once, simply smoking let you know what happened. I'm not saying I love lack of personal expression, I don't! In the same vein, it's usually how a director chose to convey an action that ends up being the scenes you'll enjoy most and give it flair, artistically 😸
"And by the way, there's a name for you ladies but it isn't used in High Society, outside of a kennel". This has to be the best insult in movie history.
@@lindagurrera685 30s movies were full of great lines. Screenwriters in those days followed the maxim "Always assume your audience is at least as intelligent as you are".
The real villain of this movie was never Joan, Crystal Allen, but Rosalind Russell, who played Mrs. Howard Fowler (Sylvia). With friends like her, you don't need enemies like Crystal.
And if she had straight-out called them bitches, like any actress could easily do these days, it wouldn't be half as good. Nobody wants such censorship back again, but it might be admitted that when there was some, it forced a greater level of cleverness to make the same point.
@@dmhandy Yeah, the other ladies had their foibles, but Joan was just pure evil. And she STOLE this movie. If not for GONE WITH THE WIND that came the same year, I'd've bet my money on Joan Crawford for Best Actress.
@@vincentsartain3061 - 1939 was the greatest year in American cinema. There were a lot of great movies that year. By the way, Bette Davis won the Oscar for Best Actress in "Jezebel."

The very thing Joan desired came to be. She wanted to be remembered and cherished. She wanted respect and she’s got it 100 times over. She’s one of the greatest stars ever to grace Hollywood and she will never be forgotten. The name of “Joan Crawford” will stand the test of time.
@@jonathanmcvay4499 There is plenty of evidence that she at the very least severely exaggerated and at worst flat out lied about some things. Most likely the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Joan's dress!!! They certainly knew how to make Black and White films sparkle and shine. And, Ms. Crawford has the BEST farewell line in the entire film, if not in movie history. Flawless!!
Yes Joan definitely owned this movie and I loved her dressed in this scene. In fact I love all of the fashion glamorous style in this movie,especially the Fashion Show Scene.
I loved this film. All the Actresses were wonderful. But Joan Crawford is my favourite. She has some marvellous lines in this film. Her dress in this scene is really something! The remake years later was awful. They shouldn't have bothered. But they can't leave well alone.
What version with Elizabeth Taylor? There was a 1956 remake ,The Opposite Sex , starring June Allyson as the wife whose name was changed to Kay & Joan Collins as Crystal. In this version when the two women meet,Crystal's cattiness lands her a backhand from the wife. Lol. Also the men are present in this version Leslie Neilson is the husband. It also stars Delores Gray , Ann Miller, Ann Sheridan & Agnes Moorhead( Endora from Bewitch). Then in 2008 there was another remake with Debra Messing, Meg Ryan Jada Pinke, a black /lesbian character. That's too much for me & I am black.Lol.
@@neonmoon82 no it wasn't...I saw that show live in Broadway and Nixon ruined that character with that horrible accent and voice pitch. Issac Mizhari gowns for the show were beautiful. Jennifer Tilly was fine as Crystal but overall not a great show.
Agree. I think this may actually be her best performance. She's obviously good in Mildred Pierce, but she doesn't suit the role as perfectly as she does this one. Her line delivery is smart and cutting, and the way she flips back and forth between speaking on the phone to her suitors with a low, velvety seductive voice and sniping at other women in the room with her shows she really integrated the lines and performs them as second nature. That doesn't come through in roles in which she plays a more fragile person, such as Mildred and Baby Jane.
@@farrellmcnulty909 Crawford had the last word by saying, “It will be ready tomorrow, Mrs. Prowler.” Russell made it hysterical by falling head first into the dumpster.
LOVE Norma Shearer, Joan, Roz, Mary Boland. Actually the whole cast including the beauty shop operators and health club personnel, salespersons and dude ranch people. Marjorie Main as Lucy is hysterical. Wonderful movie.
@@augustinecubero6011 I understood that she was referring to Ms. Russell...I'm hearing impaired, they all speak so quickly I can't quite make everything out...wish I had a copy of the dialogue. One of my favorite movies...
Wonderful acting. What a true beauty and talent she was!! Still talking about her 40 years after she passed. Sge made a true impact on film, being a star and a true stin pioneer as a person. Were all still in a way memorized by her perseverance and star power and sheer will power and class.
Bette seemed to have looked down on her because she didn’t come from the theater like she did. As much as I like Bette Davis, she was at times a bit too hammy while Joan on the other hand, despite her glamorous movie star persona, was a more natural actress and her movies have aged much better than her rivals.
@@kcirtapelyk6060 I agree 100 percent, I actually like Joan's acting much better because as you said she was more natural. I honestly dont think the reason why Bette didnt give Joan the credit she deserved as a great actress, is because Bette knew she was a great actress, and I think that was Bette's hidden insecurity and mental manipulation to put that out there about Joan, so people would see her as the superior actress......Bette knew Joan was great and without any of the technical training that Bette had, and thats what really had Bette bothered
@@TahariBlue Later on in life, Bette did admit that she respected Joan’s professionalism and that she wasn’t the worst actor she ever worked with(that position belongs to Faye Dunaway). She even felt sorry for her when her daughters book got published and her reputation destroyed.
Am glad Bette did that - a shame she didn't say that when Joan was living and could have appreciated that praise, but of course Bette wouldn't have given her that satisfaction. The irony was that Joan admired Faye Dunaway who ended up playing her in "Mommie Dearest".
@@TahariBlue Both Bette and Joan would have done well with just cutting the shit and kicking back and jamming as actresses. They were both beautiful and talented, why not just enjoy it.
There's something about Joan which leaves you wanting more. Norma sheerer was alright. Pretty. But that was it. Joan was undisputed queen of Hollywood but she was so under rated. Especially in Britain. Queen forever!!!!
Joan Crawford,she was no beauty Queen but she definitely did have Sex Appealed. And she was a fabulous Actress on the screen. Even Betty Davis admitted to saying the same thing.
I stand by my belief that Norma did very well because of her husband. Had she not been Mrs. Irving I very much doubt she would have been so successful. Highly overrated.
I think this isn't fair to Shearer. There's a scene in this movie where she's talking with her husband on the phone - knowing he's cheating on her - and she keeps her tone light but her eyes are DEVASTATED. She gets a lot of flack for being Thalberg's wife but she had the chops on her own.
She had some guns. I think she called it her "daily dozen" or something. At times she was ripped. Phenomenal thighs. For being so tiny she was broad shouldered and hipped and was naturally thick but she worked so hard to keep trim that her figure at times was just awesome. Very athletic. And Paulette Goddard - what a babe. She almost got Gone with the Wind.
I saw Paulette Goddard's screen test as "Scarlett" in GWTW. She was quite good. But Vivien Leigh was pure perfection in the role. David Selznick knew what he was doing when he replaced Goddard with Miss Leigh.
Paulette was runner up for role. scarlett needed to be cat like. Her and vivien had that quality in their eyes. But Vivien also had more steel and dramatic chops required fir thst great role
And remember the opening sequence in this movie where two dogs-undoubtedly female-were barking furiously at each other. The ending came full circle to the beginning.
In ever scene she is in-- Mary Boland's performance just draws the camera and the audience towards her....while she doesn't really 'steal' the scene; she Dominate's it, until her lines are performed-- than, the camera can relinquish her, but the eyes still look-out for her physical and silent antics. A great treasure of acting ability.
I always like how she knew she was beat and just rolled with it. You know Crystal will find another willing chump in no time flat. And more power to her.
She’d probably have to go out of town to find another rich sap though. All the women in New York high society know about her and will more than likely warn every rich man about her before she gets a chance to sink her claws into one of them.
It is ironic how no one remembers, or really knows who any of those other actresses are. The only actress in this mover everyone remembers Joan Crawford.
It's from all that face slapping she did in films. I saw a clip of her guesting on a comedy show where she slapped the host (obviously part of the act). He asked why she did it and she smiled into the camera and said "Don't you know? I have to do that in every movie "
One of my favorite films of 1939. Too bad it didn't win any awards but it has 92%/88% rating and while budget was $1,688,000 and the box office was $2,270,000 then they did something right. "I've had two years to grow claws, Mother -- Jungle Red!"
I'm with you on that. Miriam is not what you would call a "plum roll" but Goddard makes the most of it; and "for some reason" you sit up and take notice.
Miriam is the most down-to-earth character in the movie, and Paulette Goddard is flawless. This is my favorite performance of hers...dame with a good heart.
What a distinctive classic beauty she was. Just wondering if human faces do evolve so much in 70-80 years.. Now people look so different from 70 yrs ago. They even talked with a very distinctive unique English accent back then.
I will say this about classic Hollywood: They had to figure out how to make actors say bad words without actually saying them. The insults were much more imaginative as a result.
Clean humor is definitely the hardest form of comedy. It takes a whole lot of wit and talent. Something “comedians” today lack.
Something writers don't have time for
It treated the audience like they had some intelligence. Like ridiculous "love" scenes. Once, simply smoking let you know what happened. I'm not saying I love lack of personal expression, I don't! In the same vein, it's usually how a director chose to convey an action that ends up being the scenes you'll enjoy most and give it flair, artistically 😸
You…you shopgirl!
And sometimes much more satisfying.
"And by the way, there's a name for you ladies but it isn't used in High Society, outside of a kennel". This has to be the best insult in movie history.
Especially since it was a way to sneak "bitch" past the Hays Office!
Haus of Gemini that is the classiest way of calling someone a bitch. Joan was masterpiece.
Truly brilliant for 1939 great
That was such a great line.
@@lindagurrera685 30s movies were full of great lines. Screenwriters in those days followed the maxim "Always assume your audience is at least as intelligent as you are".
She was the villainess, but with that response, can't help but love her!
Idk why she was the villain but the husband was excused and forgiven. Oh wait, yes i do.
love how Joan says "so long ladies", with this smile and closed teeth. thats the way a queen always should leave the battlefield ;-)
Ethically classic
Defeated? 🤣♥️
Absolutely!
Yes, especially when she KNOWS that she has been DEFEATED!!👍🏾12/12/2021.

Elissa Schornstein all of the remakes were terrible. This film has been remade several times including a version with Elizabeth Taylor.
Several years ago they did the play on PBS with Cynthia Nixon as the lead and Jennifer Tilly in the Joan Crawford role. It was really quite well done.

Love love love Joanie! One of my all time favorite scenes!!
Wish we'd gotten more films with Crawford & Russell. They completely stole this film and should have won the Oscar joint that year!
Agreed! And 1939 was quite the year for films.
She had some guns. I think she called it her "daily dozen" or something. At times she was ripped. Phenomenal thighs. For being so tiny she was broad shouldered and hipped and was naturally thick but she worked so hard to keep trim that her figure at times was just awesome. Very athletic.
And Paulette Goddard - what a babe. She almost got Gone with the Wind.
I saw Paulette Goddard's screen test as "Scarlett" in GWTW. She was quite good. But Vivien Leigh was pure perfection in the role. David Selznick knew what he was doing when he replaced Goddard with Miss Leigh.
she did have the most call-backs, there's a compilation video on RUclips highlighting the various screen tests.
Paulette was runner up for role. scarlett needed to be cat like. Her and vivien had that quality in their eyes. But Vivien also had more steel and dramatic chops required fir thst great role

A great treasure of acting ability.
She was apparently an early mentor of Katharine Hepburn.
Mary Boland was in this scene? I honestly didn't notice her.
Who? Joan stole this scene. And every other scene she was in.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM especially Ms. Crawford! 👍👍❤👍👍
Between Joan and Roz. Hard to choose
i can't tell who is the most beautiful woman of all these actresses on this movie.
I always like how she knew she was beat and just rolled with it. You know Crystal will find another willing chump in no time flat. And more power to her.
She’d probably have to go out of town to find another rich sap though. All the women in New York high society know about her and will more than likely warn every rich man about her before she gets a chance to sink her claws into one of them.
She was one of the best. She made you believe she was the real character. The BEST!

Absolute gold I quoted this scene many times classes way to say the b word
The shade ! The shade of it all !!
Love this movie. So entertaining. Quit the line-up of great actresses too. Love Norma Shearer.
She was on screen only 23 minutes but she stole the movie ( and had the best wardrobe).
Omg Joan was a great actress! She will always be my top favorite! 😍❤️
The top of Joan's dress is a bra. I love this era!!

Yeah, when she's on screen she pulls your attention.

it's when she taunts Crystal with "Kama Ti Yi Yippie..."

Whoa Joans dress is beautiful
It's kidnapping! That's what it is! It's kidnapping! Rosalind Russell is such a gem
Starting at 0:39, Mary Haines is giving Crystal Allen the "how do you like them apples" look?
That was probably the best movie line ever
The line was written by Anita Lois from the play by Clare Boothe Luce.
