The Opposite Sex (1956)




The Opposite Sex, a musical remake of The Women, contains a star-studded cast. With June Allyson, Leslie Nielson, Agnes Moorehead, Joan Collins, Ann Miller, Ann Sheridan, Joan Blondell and many more, this captures the 50's to a T.

Unlike its predecessor, the cast includes male actors to play husbands and boyfriends, whose characters were only referred to in the previous film and stage versions. This alters the structure and tone of the base storyline significantly.

The story concerns Kay Hilliard (played by June Allyson), a former nightclub singer who discovers her husband Steve (played by Leslie Nielsen) is having an affair with showgirl Crystal Allen (played by Joan Collins). Kay is the last to find out among her circle of gossiping girlfriends. Kay travels to Reno to divorce from Steve who then marries Crystal, but when Kay finds out that Crystal isn't true to Steve she starts fighting to win her ex-husband back.

Any classic film buff will enjoy this great movie. The song and dance numbers will keep your feet tapping (you might even see a cameo by a famous big band leader...and a quick appearance by a "castaway")!

This film is very rare, as it is rarely seen on tv- and is not available on DVD. This film was transferred from the Laser Disc version.
