This was a fun movie. We are willing to suspend disbelief on a lot, but those big round specs and the pulled-back hair wouldn't fool anyone into thinking that Claudette Colbert was a drab, unattractive, little mouse. When you've got as much of IT as she had, it's not that easy to hide!
He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good... St. Matthew 5:45
I liked how she took them off and, well she never did need those silly things.
shareTrue but Claudette is such a great actress you do believe her as a mousey woman in those scenes and too that image and personality is usually due though to how these women were raised and their personal inhibitions rather than how they look. I was born in the South and I knew several women who were raised ultra-conservatively (no makeup, "sensible" clothes, standard glasses, etc.) and as a result they have that repressed personality like Claudette's character. This still happens even in the 21st century.
shareI would watch her in anything. Great actress.
shareI have never seen the movie, but you are right. Some women and men too are still raised like that.
