I've just watched the film and I don't think I saw any women talking to each other, so I think this should be a 1. If you disagree, do have have an example?

I found two examples of women talk to each other, though both are about a man. First, Poole interrogates Dr. Wahlund about Richard Kimble. Here's a rough transcript:

WAHLUND: I want you to know that I believe Kimble to be innocent.

POOLE: Would he come to you for help?

WAHLUND: If he came to me, I would help. But he wouldn't come to me. That's not his style.

The second example involves Dr. Anne Eastman, who talks to Gladys about a male patient.

ANNE: Gladys, where's the boy I sent down with the janitor?

GLADYS: What boy?

ANNE: The one with the fractured sternum.

GLADYS: He never came in here.
