There are only two significant women in the movie - Shirley MacLaine and Ruth Attaway. These two never meet, but MacLaine's character does make small talk with her female friends at a dinner party but this is all about Chance. I think her friends are named.

Lisa disagreed with the rating and said:
A female friend of Shirley MacLaine’s character is introduced by name at a party. The two women exchange pleasantries and leave the room. This talk is not about a male character, but it’s not really about anything else either. 2.1 out of 3?
