Mary Haines seems to have it all; a beautiful country home, a rich financier husband, an adorable eleven-year-old daughter and a part-time career creating designs for her father's venerable clothing company. Her best friend, Sylvie Fowler, leads another enviable life; happily the single editor of a prominent fashion magazine, possessor of a huge closet of designer clothes and revered arbiter of taste and style. But when Mary's husband enters into an affair the worlds of both women begin to implode. 'The Women' is a laboured re-make of George Cukor's 1939 classic, based on the play by Clare Boothe Luce.
