THIRTEEN WOMEN (1932) ¢ ¢ 1/2

Irene Dunne, Ricardo Cotez, Myrna Loy,
Jill Esmond, Mary Duncan, Kay Johnson,
Florence Eldridge, C. Henry Gordon, Peg Entwistle
Women who attended the same finishing school together start getting horoscopes in the mail from an astrologer, telling them they're going to die. When the predictions start to come true, the surviving women become concerned. Myrna Loy, still typecast as Asian vamps, plays the astrologer's devious assistant. Nora Charles she's not. Tabloid footnote: Peg Entwistle, who made her only movie appearance as one of the thirteen women, committed suicide by jumping off the HOLLYWOOD sign two days after the film's release.
