Bad beyond belief
Jan 01, 2008

Romance novelist Joan Crawford falls in love with married publisher Herbert Marshall. Crawford meets his wife, Greer Garson, at the home of loopy blabbermouth Spring Byington. Hard to say which is sillier, the acting, the plot, the dialog, the furniture... Read more
When Joan Crawford and Greer Garson meet
Dec 27, 2007
Overall Rating
Two MGM divas get to have at one another in a most civilized, clipped-consonant fashion in this remake of a livelier 1933 comedy-drama, adapted from a hit Rachel Crothers play. Joan Crawford is a best-selling authoress on the brink of... Read more

When Ladies Meet was the second version of Rachel Crothers play that was on Broadway in the early Thirties. And of course by the title you can tell it's one of those 'women's' pictures. The type of women who lead... Read more

"When Ladies Meet" boasts a fine cast of Robert Taylor, Joan Crawford, Greer Garson and Spring Byington. The film is a classic stinker and I will tell you why.Crawford, a book writer, has designs on the editor, a play-boy played... Read more
A great film tribute to two amazing actresses

I find the previous reviewer's comment about Greer and Davis' fans insulting. Every actor has their own way of acting.Garson did an outstanding job in this film. Here MGM's big female stars (the older of the famous stars) are set... Read more

"When Ladies Meet" stars Joan Crawford, Greer Garson, Robert Taylor, Herbert Marshall, and Spring Byington. It's a talky film obviously based on a play that starts out somewhat typically: A woman falls for a married man, but her boyfriend still... Read more
Crawford's most subtle performance?
Oct 16, 2005
Overall Rating
I am baffled as to why Greer Garson's performance is regarded so superior to Crawford's work in WHEN LADIES MEET. Crawford is extremely subtle, giving one of her most sensitive and convincing portrayals as an idealistic author who fails to... Read more
Intelligent Drama and Screwball Comedy; Memorable

Rachel Crothers was one of the United States' best playwrights for decades. "He and She" and "When Ladies Meet" are her two best-known works. There was a good earlier version of this work; this remake has the benefit of stars... Read more
The Greer Garson show
May 09, 2004
Overall Rating
Simple story, but some of the acting is marvelous, especially Greer Garson, who literally steals the movie. It was almost embarrassing to watch Joan Crawford try to act next to her. The difference of talent between the two women is... Read more
No Ladies I Know Behave This Way....

...but perhaps I don't know a lot of true ladies. I'm more shocked that Joan Crawford got top billing in this delightful little farce. Greer Garson stole the show and Robert Taylor's role was dashing and quite likeable. Spring Byington... Read more
