Hilarious Theresa Russell moments! And Diane Ladd!


There are a couple of moments in this film, featuring Theresa Russell, where I just laugh in hysterics every time I see the movie! They're both moments when she realises someone is investigating her - the first where she repeatedly gets her coat stuck in the car door before howling that frustrated scream!

The second moment, later in the film, when she puts a cushion on her front, which she punches several times and finally moves to punch herself in the gut, is sidesplittingly funny! She's like this big tough seductress killer, who still acts like a little kid having a temper tantrum, when she feels she's being reprimanded!

Brilliant film, BTW! One of my faves, and both Russell & Debra Winger are superb in it.

Also sidesplittingly funny - that orgasmic look on Diane Ladd's face, and the way she puts her finger to her lips, when Russell tells her how much money she's giving her! Priceless stuff!

I laugh when they show Catherine's deadpan face when she's watching the Indian tribe documentary in her hotel room. It looks like it's going to be a long night...

Rafelson must have watched 3 Women a few times with that dress n´ car door thing.

LOL at the 3 Women compliment. I screened the film at school several years ago, and all the students who were there howled at the car door and pillow scenes. This film is such a hidden gem, with Winger and Russell in top form!

When will you ever learn, this feeling is all you can discern?
