Neither one does much for me but The Women has a little humor going for it so it gets my vote. The German versions of propriety and glamor always fall flat with me. If the filmmakers threw in some of that famous German expressionism it would have been more fun but for some reason they didn’t ask me.
I’m sensing a troubled romance vibe.
I have one word for you, Marlene Dietrich.
That is a very persuasive argument.
