I have seen this movie many times, but only recently realized how great it is. Weird. There are parts of this movie that are dated, like having to live in Reno for a bit while waiting for a divorce. It's hard to imagine prospective divorcees meeting random on a train and hanging out together and bonding on a dude ranch / hotel while waiting for their divorces to go through.
But parts of this ring very true: cheating husbands and pride getting in the way of what people really want. But what blows my mind when I watch it? The way women treat each other - mostly it's shitty. When mom advises Norma Shearer to NOT confide in her friends, she knows what she's talking about. Most of Norma's so-called friends are total dicks.
