Women Are No Angels

About This Movie

So, 'Women Are No Angels' is a quirky little comedy from 1943 that has a certain charm. The story unfolds aboard a luxury liner, where the director and his screenwriter are trying to dodge the romantic pursuits of the ship's female guests, which is kind of amusing in a dated way. The whole murder mystery subplot adds an unexpected layer, creating a bit of tension against the otherwise lighthearted tone. The performances are serviceable, but there's a certain vibe to the way they interact that feels genuine. That blend of comedy and suspense, along with some practical effects — even if they’re modest — gives it a unique flavor for those who appreciate wartime cinema. It’s certainly not a heavy-hitter, but it has its place in the eclectic collection of film buffs.

This film isn’t super common on physical media, with a handful of releases over the years that tend to come and go. Most collectors seem to find interest in the rarity of certain prints, especially those featuring original artwork. The mix of comedy and thriller elements also piques curiosity among enthusiasts of 1940s cinema, making it a quirky exploration of its time.
