There are a few named female characters but any discussion they have is related to the male characters.

Came here to check for one of my favorite films, Porky's. The Bechdel test doesn't specify length of time, merely subject. Here's a Youtube link to the scene in question, where Miss Halliwell and Beaula Balbreaker discuss each other, and Miss Halliwell's employment contract: youtu.be/PmF7QopMG60. It's not spam or gratuitous.
For an extra goof, notice what happens to the guy who tries to interrupt and take control.

@Dorian Deome
As awful as this film might be, you've provided evidence of two named female characters having a a sixty-second conversation with each other about something besides a man. (The fact that they are actually just being horrible to each other is neither here nor there. They're talking about how much they dislike each other.)

Billy disagreed with the rating and said:
It has to have at least two [named] women in it:
Lynn Honeywell & Beulah Balbricker.
Who talk to each other:
Beulah breaks interrupts Honeywell on the stairs and chastises her.
About something besides a man:
Honeywell mocks Balbricker, who responds by saying she will report Honeywell for moral turpitude.

Why is still at 2 out of 3? It passes all three requirements of the test, as indicated above.

Does it matter if Honeywell canoodling with a guy is what caused the potentially-Bechdel passing conversation?
