"I don't believe it! It's Petty Wetty!"
29 January 2008
Sherry Warren (Robert Montgomery) has never been one for marriage or dating only one woman. His reputation is well known, but his charm brings women flocking to him. One such woman is Marcia Townsend (Joan Crawford), a beautiful socialite who keeps company with Sherry knowing full-well the kind of man he is. But she can't help but love him. Finally, their relationship culminates into marriage, and the two prepare to live happily ever after. That is, until Sherry steals his best friend's girl (Gail Patrick), a showgirl in the city. When Marcia finds out, she is disappointed and heartbroken, but her retaliation isn't divorce. Instead, she throws a party for Sherry with some of the ladies of his past and their scorned husbands (Franchot Tone).

Filled with witty dialog and talented stars, No More Ladies is a purely entertaining film. It perfectly represents the class and mischief that blended so well during the 1930s. This film managed to get past the censors with topics like adultery and scenes like that of Crawford in her underwear. However, the wealthy characters exude sophistication, so their naughtiness is easily forgiven. After all, "Since when has a lady in bed been an object of repugnance?"
