As Mulheres
Debutante (uncredited)
Esta adaptação para a tela, roteirizada por Anita Loos e Jane Murfin e dirigida por George Cukor, foi um tremendo sucesso no seu lançamento.

Dos glamorosos apartamentos da alta sociedade de Manhattan, até Reno onde todos se divorciam, o filme mostra um enfoque ácido de suas vidas e dos esforços dos maridos para fazerem suas esposas ricas e poderosas. Durante toda o filme não aparece um único homem se quer, embora sejam muito citados, e o tema central seja os relacionamentos das mulheres com eles.
