"The Women" is a 1955 American television play that aired as part of Producers' Showcase. It was based on the stage play The Women by Clare Boothe Luce.
A woman discovers her husband is having an affair.
Max Gordon, who produced the original Broadway show, was brought in to produce the television play. The budget was a reported $300,000.
Variety wrote "ItâÂÂs difficult to believe that standards could change so swiftly, yet in viewing this 1955 video adaptation by Sumner Locke Elliott, there seemed little psychological merit or entertainment value in watching the high-voltage entourage of brittle, feline and utterly worthless femmes spout platitudes and saccharine-coated viciousness."
The Los Angeles Citizen News called it "outstanding".
The Albuquerque Tribune called it "old fashioned" blaming the direction.
The Berkshire Eagle wrote "the play retained much of its original bite."
The Chicago Tribune thought "it lost some humor in the adaptation".
