In the development of this magnificeht story director Jean Negulesco has given it the same understanding of human frailties he applied to making "Three Coins In The Fountain” one of the most popular screenplays of any season. "Woman’s World” is from the screenplay on which Claude Binyon, Mary Loos and Richard Sale collaborated. Additional dialogue has been supplied by the co-authors of "Life With Father” and two of Broadway’s most successful playwrights, namely: Howard Lindsay and Rus- sell Crouse. The three competing couples hail from dif- ferent cities: Miss Allyson and Wilde from Kansas City, Miss Dahl and Heflin from Dallas, and Miss Bacall and MacMurray from Phil- adelphia.
