May 22 movie: No More Ladies. I love this movie. Robert Montgomery and Joan Crawford star as a couple of socialites in a trainwreck of a marriage. They should never have gotten married, spend the movie humiliating each other, and seem destined for divorce at the end. And yet, somehow it's a sparkling comedy. Costars Franchot Tone as the ex-husband of one of Montgomery's previous flings, Arthur Treacher as the previous fling's new husband, Gail Patrick as Montgomery's current fling, Charlie Ruggles as Montgomery's drunken brother, and the fabulous Edna May Oliver as Crawford's cantankerous grandma. (And I almost forgot to mention the dress Crawford wears in the second half of the movie: it has this huge, weird collar that looks like a nun's wimple fell off her head and landed on her chest!)
