Most Schizophrenic View Of Women
EVER in a movie? 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Bizarre experience!
shareFrom the point of view of a 1953 cinemagoer, Major Briteis is a pretty radical character-- she's a female pilot. She's a female officer WHO IS NOT A NURSE. She's a female Commanding Officer with MALE subordinates and it is a perfectly normal condition.
Okay, she still has a strong streak of being a little girl seeking Daddy's approval and that last bit about being ordered to marry her copilot in order to please the public are pretty 1950s. BUT remember it was a FEMALE American President who performed the wedding ceremony via TV link.
My jaw dropped when she was threatened with a spanking, but was greatly disappointed she didn't get one. What a cutie! I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
