There is a short conversation between two of the main female characters. This is far from a feminist movie though. The female characters are portrayed as weak and unable to do anything.

Literally every woman in this movie is portrayed as weak .. and a burden to their male companions' survival. It does pass the test though because most of the women barely speak, especially to one another. When they do it's small talk.

JV disagreed with the rating and said:
Judy and Helen ask Barbara a couple of questions but Barbara never answers. I wouldn't call that a conversation. I'd give this movie a 1/3.

The rating is correct on a short exchange at about 52':
JUDY: I'll take good care of her Helen
HELEN: She's all I have.
JUDY: Why don't you go upstairs now?
HELEN: (nods)
