11. The Women
“There’s a name for you ladies, but it isn’t used in high society… outside of a kennel.”
Joan Crawford is the reigning Queen of the withering put-down, as I think we’ll all agree, but these particular line-delivered towards the end of bitchy 1939 flick The Women- has to be delivered with a sugared smile and an air of total superiority. The film was remade later, but never quite recaptured the glory of the original-all of which can be summed up in that line.
