 Fontaine was the last surviving actress with a credited role in the film; she died in 2013.The film continued the play's all-female tradition—the entire cast of more than 130 speaking roles was female.Set in the glamorous Manhattan apartments of high society evoked by Cedric Gibbons, and in Reno, Nevada, where they obtain their divorces, it presents an acidic commentary on the pampered lives and power struggles of various rich, bored wives and other women they come into contact with.
