I knew women who were just like the character of Millie - beauty shop big hair, recipes from ladies magazines, dresses made from McCall's patterns, tupperware, pigs in a blanket (yum!) - a unique view of 70's working class women represented in this film. Shelley Duvall is at her best here. This movie is in my personal top ten of all-time favorites. It's such a refreshing change from the big-budget dribble (Tom Hanks/Julia Roberts) that is in the theaters all the time. "Three Women" is so great because it is the antithesis of all that is Hollywood. Makes me want to move to the California desert.
