🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This Was a Woman is an acquired taste at 5.4/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A classic from 1948. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
