Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

utgard14 Apathetic musical remake of 1939 classic The Women. Despite addition of songs and technicolor it actually winds up being less interesting than the original. If anything the 1950s trappings hurt the film. '50s films often had a stuffiness about them, due to the conservative fashions I suppose. Anyway this one has an OK cast but it's not a patch on the original. Ann Sheridan and Joan Blondell, two of my faves, were past their primes by 1956 unfortunately. Still, Sheridan probably stands out most of this cast. June Allyson is not an actress I was ever very big on and that opinion doesn't change with this performance. And what was with that terrible makeup they had her wearing in the second half of this movie? Yuck. Joan Collins gets the juiciest role here. The same role Joan Crawford did so well at in the 1939 film. Well I think just stating the obvious -- that Joan Collins is no Joan Crawford -- should suffice as a criticism. In short this is a bland remake of a very good film. See it for the assembled stars and curiosity factor but do yourself a favor and see The Women first.

ron-fernandez-pittsburgh THE OPPOSITE SEX is a product of the 50's. And it's quite grand. Why so many people dismiss this movie is a mystery to me. No, it's not SINGIN IN THE RAIN; AN AMERICN IN Paris; THE BANDWAGON etc...but it IS entertaining. In fact, it's not really a musical comedy. It's more of comedy with music as no one starts singing or dancing in the middle of a scene. All the musical numbers are in "performance" mode. I think this is more of a realistic aspect than the original THE WOMEN that this film is based and up-dated upon. Who ever heard of a film with no men. In THE WOMEN, the entire cast, including a bartender, a driver etc...are all played by women. Quite odd. Anyway, this loose remake is lot's of fun. Nice color, wide screen and a good cast. JUNE ALLYSON is just fine in her role as is JOAN COLLINS. The real stand outs are AGNES MOOREHEAD (isn't she always?), DOLORES GRAY and ANN SHERIDAN. Just wish SHERIDAN had more to do. Enjoy this for what it's worth. Just a good, fun time, not to be taken very seriously. The fact that LESLIE NEILSEN marries the JOAN COLLINS character is the most implausible aspect of the entire film. He already knows what a B---H she is and he still loves his wife...so the marriage doesn't make sense. But of course if they didn't marry there would be no Act 111. Nice that this movie is now available on DVD thru Warner Archives or by rental from CLASSIC FLIX. See another great film of it's time and era as well...MEET ME IN LAS VEGAS.

jlace24 This is one of my favorite movies since I was a kid. The bad reviews it gets here blow my mind. The cast was excellent in my opinion and the adding of the men unlike "The Woman" is great to me. Leslie Nielson is crazy hot and so is the guy who plays Buck. Also Joan Collins is indescribably hotter than Joan Crawford as Crystal Allen and fits the part perfect. Another question for me is who doesn't think June Allyson is adorable and The Countess is wonderful?? This is obviously one of those movies that you should see for yourself and make your own opinion because they vary drastically from person to person. Me my two sisters, my mother & my Grandmother have loved this movie our whole lives!! The remake of The Woman most recently (2008) is what was ridiculous and not worth watching, I mean they made The Countess a pothead and they wrote Meg Ryans part as just a pathetic female with no life or goals!!! Now thats a sad reproduction!!!

wes-connors June Allyson is not naughty enough for her husband, so he goes for Joan Collins, who has a roving eye of her own. They have to decide, in the end, which twosome is preferable. What seems like a million other characters move in and out of the story, all focused around Ms. Allyson. Some of the characters are interesting and recognizable, some are not… all become tiresome, eventually. It does sound, like others have commented, that Doris Day sings one of Allyson's songs (early-ish in the movie). I've been watching TCM's tribute to Allyson, and some of these films are strange indeed! It's nice of TCM to show them, though.Allyson often wears something to match her lipstick. Ms. Collins likes to smoke in her bathtubs. *** The Opposite Sex (10/26/56) David Miller ~ June Allyson, Joan Collins, Dolores Gray, Ann Sheridan
