Os Cavaleiros da Morte
Kate
Velho seriado de Faroeste, dos anos 40, com 15 episódios:
As Mulheres
Nurse (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. Estrelada por Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford e Rosalind Russell. O filme deu continuidade à tradição das peças só com personagens de mulheres tagarelas. 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.
