How could they leave out JOHNNY GUITAR? Or WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?

THE WOMEN? It's full of showdowns--but Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer going toe-to-toe over Shearer's husband, Stephen, at the dressmaker is a high point:

Shearer (glancing at Crawford's over-the-top black lace lingerie): "If you're dressing to please Stephen, I don't recommend that. Stephen doesn't go for such obvious effects."

Crawford: "Thanks for the suggestion--but when Stephen doesn't like something I'm wearing, I just take it off."

Meow!

Also, I don't think Shirley MacLaine and Audrey Hepburn were playing nuns in THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.

Weren't they headmistresses at a boarding school? Now exactly nuns, I'd say.
