Movie Reviews of Designing Woman

Movie Review: See it for the clothes and the sets
Summary: 3 Stars

I tend to agree with the customer review titled "Woefully Dated." This film may have been "hilarious" back in the 1950s, but it hasn't stood the test of time. And the inclusion of the brain damaged ex-fighter was enough for me to not like the story. I would say that if you are not of this time then you might not appreciate 50s comedy and you won't be laughing. However, if you are interested in late 50's fashion, this film is a must have. The clothes and the sets are outstanding. I'm giving this film three stars for its value as cultural artificat.

Summary of Designing Woman

Sportswriter gregory peck marries fashion designer lauren bacall and their two different working worlds collide bluntly and hilariously. Features: cast/director highlights: subtitles in english french spanish portuguese chinese thai and korean: vintage publicity interview with helen rose. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/05/2002 Starring: Gregory Peck Lauren Bacall Run time: 117 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Vincente Minnelli

Anyone who thinks that Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus is a cutting-edge idea will be surprised by Designing Woman, a 1957 comedy starring Gregory Peck as a sports writer who falls madly in love with fashion designer Lauren Bacall. The twofold plot springs from a combination of Bacall's jealous efforts to learn the identity of Peck's previous lover and Peck's reckless expos? of a gangster who rigs boxing matches--but the movie's real enjoyment comes from its depiction of the athletic and arts worlds, each spun as a reflection of the male and female mind, respectively. While Peck and Bacall aren't noted for their comic chops, they acquit themselves respectably; Bacall has the more flamboyant role, but Peck draws low-key humor from his character's smug and blinkered perceptions. Designing Woman is directed by Vincente Minnelli (who also directed Meet Me in St. Louis, An American in Paris, and Gigi), so it's not surprising that the movie flares most to life during a few musical sequences--sneaked into the plot because Bacall has been commissioned to design a Broadway show, whose star just happens to be Peck's former paramour--culminating in a back-alley fight staged as a brawling ballet. --Bret Fetzer
