Antidotes requested

So a friend of mine is watching "How to Marry a Millionaire," and is waffling between amused and horrified (landing finally on "amused," by choice, but it was a close thing). I told her that "Desk Set" is a great classic movie that she could watch as an antidote to "How to Marry a Millionaire," if she wanted one. I'm sure there's more awesome feisty-lady classic movies out there that I'm just not remembering. Any suggestions?

Oh, Mae West is so interesting. Don't get me started on Mae West! Hey, if you're interested, Simon Louvish has a really thorough biography of her wherein he talked about the Hays Office's response to her (their hatred was almost personal, it was insane). It was pretty interesting, not as fun as his Marx Bros. bio but definitely well researched.

Thank you for the recommendation. :]
