I was going to say, “And the 1997 remake,” but I thought I’d better check first; the judge in that one is a woman.
Uh, it’s score won the Academy Award.
The term for that is diegetic music.
No, in most traditional musicals, the music for most of the musical numbers does come from a soundtrack. It’s not like there’s a full orchestra standing around when, say, Eliza’s father sings, “Get Me to the Church on Time.”
There are some exceptions. Cabaret was designed so that all the songs are performed on stage at the Kit Kat Klub (with one exception, but that’s also performed in a setting where it would be performed in real life). I think all the musical numbers in Footlight Paradetake place either on stage or in rehearsal (but, this being Busby Berkeley, there’s absolutely no way the “stage show” could ever fit in an actual theater).
Forbidden Planet has an electronic score; it’s debatable whether it’s music; it certainly is non melodic.
A little bit of research shows that Fail Safe had no music.
Movies without women/men? March of the Penguins, The Lion King . . .
I came in to mention No Country For Old Men. You don’t really notice it on the first viewing (at least I didn’t), but I have noticed it on home viewings. It is amazing to close your eyes and realize how little dialog is actually in the movie. Background noise is important in NCFOM. But there is no music except as mentioned, over the ending credits.
I doubt there is a soundtrack for the movie, though.
Bugsy Malone?
Tod Browning’s Dracula (the one with Bela Lugosi) only has title music, plus some verheard concert music. There’s no score at all.
Stanley Kubrick’s The Paths of Glory has no music, except a song at the end. Pretty weird, considering how important music became only a few years later in Kubrick’s films.
I think the French film Le Dernier Combat has no music in it.
Would Dead Man count? There was a soundtrack, but it was mostly random plinks, plunks, and other sounds from a guitar or piano. I haven’t seen it in a while, so I might be misremembering, but I don’t recall anything I’d call “music” in that movie.
Do you mean Ice Station Zebra (which I’m pretty sure had no women in it), or is there actually a movie called Ice Station Zero?
Hitchcock’s Rear Window is also like that. While there is some music in the background, it comes from sources from within the confines of the courtyard, and there is no incidental music or soundtrack music playing over the drama.
I’m pretty certain that the key witness, the one with th glasses marks, is an old lady.

Do the witnesses actually appear, though?
No women with speaking roles, but there’s at least one woman in the scene where they stop for supplies in Brazil. Jack smiles at her.
If you’re referring to 12 Angry Men, she does - she gives a whole statement.

The score’s by Neil Young, it was improvised as he watched the film. I’ve got the soundtrack, and listen to it from time to time. I’d call it music, but it’s certainly a bit random.
No women: The Boys in the Band
no women:
The original version of The Flight of the Phoenix has no women in the cast (although there’s a memory sort of thing with footage of a part of a belly dancer. I don’t think that invalidates it).
Both versions of Sleuth

The German girl in the restaurant. The actress married Kubrick, BTW. Suzanne Christian/Christiane Kubrick. She’s quite a painter.
Lawrence of Arabia has no women in a speaking role, though I believe a nurse or two is seen wandering through.
Correct, one of the things I learned in the film class I took.
