REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., June 27, 2002
This Hollywood bitchfest is an enduring favorite that features a constellation of top female stars (in an exclusively female cast) dishing the dirt on each other like there's no tomorrow. Anita Loos scripted from Clare Boothe Luce's famous play, and George Cukor presides over it all with an even hand.
