...are absolutely the most beautiful and exotic in any era of filmmaking, IMO. All the women here were so captivating.

I also can't believe Anne was only 16/17 in this film?

Yep, I know what you mean...These days we get 23 year olds to play 17 year olds.
Back then they got 17 year olds to act like 23 year olds. 17? Wow, she seems much older than that. She has a knowing smile and laughing eyes...
His name's Lebowski ?! That's YOUR name Dude!

Women, and people in general, in those times were much more mature than today. Especially if their childhood was scarred by war. They just had to grow up early. And today's kids... They are overprotected by their parents, the schools, society... Parents drive them everywhere, TV and internet are babysitters and tutorials for everything, they don't do anything constructive in the outside world, so of course they end up slow-witted..

Yes I was noticing their beauty, too, though I'm not sure I'd say they were exotic. More like having a kind of effortless elegance.

One thing I noticed: they all move well. They move easily and gracefully, with an awareness of their bodies that isn't vanity so much as sensuousness. It is very alluring and something rarely seen onscreen these days and even more rare in real life.
