Fighting Women
Maureen O’Hara, at a shapely fighting form of 125 pounds, and Gloria Grahame, 14 pounds lighter but in equally good form, stage a terrific fight in R.K.O. Radio’s “The Long Denial.” Finger nails have been filed down and other precautions have been taken to avoid injury to the combatants and the girls have at each other with vim and vigour, but Director Nicholas Ray isn’t satisfied. He tells them that their aimless flailing is old-fashion-ed; that fighting women these days connect with good blows more often than not. “How do you know so much about ‘ fighting women?” Maureen asked. “I spent two weeks doing research work in Hollywood night clubs,” Ray replied with a grin.
