Sinopsis: Alison Drake (Ruth Chatterton) es la administradora de una empresa de automóviles donde mantiene una buena relación con sus empleados, en especial con los caballeros a quienes participa, ocasionalmente, de fugaces encuentros en su cama, pero se desprende de ellos muy rápidamente. Un día, Alison se sentirá atraída por un trabajador independiente que ha llegado a su empresa: el ingeniero y diseñador Jim Thorne. Entonces las cosas serán a otro precio. (FILMAFFINITY)
La jefa seductora.Comedia dramática, bastante pícara para la época, en los años de Hollywood en que todavía no había entrado en vigor la censura. Allison es la propietaria y exitosa gerente de una fábrica de automóviles. Se lleva bastante bien con los empleados, sobre todo con los masculinos. Es bien sabido que se acuesta con ellos para después despedirlos rápidamente. Sin embargo, un tal Jim se resiste a sus encantos.
Ruth Chatterton interpreta a la mujercita ligera de cascos, que se dedica a insinuarse a los asombrados hombres. El film fue dirigido por el gran Michael Curtiz, aunque algunas escenas fueron filmadas por otros dos grandes de Hollywood, William Dieterle y William A. Wellman (DeCine21).

AMG Synopsis: Ruth Chatterton tears up the screen in this fast-paced, lusty comedy. Alison Drake is an automobile magnate, a hard-nosed, hardboiled business woman making dozens of important decisions a day. In her private life, however, she is passionate and bold in her pursuit of male companionship, which she frequently finds among the ranks of her own employees and executives; the problem is that these men can't abide the fact that back at work, she's all business again; and she keeps having to get their long, mopey faces out of her presence by transferring them elsewhere. Then she meets Jim Thorne (George Brent), a gifted engineer who is attracted to Drake but isn't a callow, cowtowing yes-man, and isn't awed by her millions. After a few awkward encounters, they find a balance in their lives together, or so she thinks, until he proposes marriage. -- Bruce Eder
AMG Review: A fast-paced, funny, and surprisingly frank comedy about sex and power from a woman's point-of-view, Female was one the pictures that helped put director Michael Curtiz on the map early in his career. The screenplay by Gene Markey and Kathryn Scola gets into some very truthful territory in its treatment of Ruth Chatterton's character, Alison Drake, an automobile company president with a libidinal side every bit as pronounced as her considerable professional skills. Drake is all business, and good at it, except when she's at home, and then she's the complete hedonist, right down to the succession of lovers that she recruits from the ranks of her employees. Chatterton is convincing as this brilliant and supremely sensuous woman, presenting those two sides in a compelling portrayal, through which she dominates the entire picture from beginning to end. It's a mark of George Brent's ability as an actor that he rises to the challenge of convincing us that he's her equal, even though he's in barely half the movie. The brisk pacing, the extraordinary art deco design of Drake's home, and the beautifully staged party scene are other highlights in this hour-long jewel of a picture, which is every bit as striking in its way as George Cukor's The Women. -- Bruce Eder
