Aww , you beat a woman and she falls in love with you haha!


I love old movies and Ray Milland but this movie really lost me when Granger's character screamed at and beat Joan Collins into loving him. Eegads.

The real story is much worse than this fictional portrayal.

If you weren't willfully blind to the submissive nature of women, and their cavewoman response to "dominant" males, you'd know this plays out hundreds of thousands of times per day, all over duh world. Wake up.

Thaw was horrible in this movie. White may have been a pervert and a dirty old man, by today's standards but, while I was watching the film, I didn't dislike the character, as much as I did Thaw. I actually felt sorry for Nesbit, the way she was exploited for her sexuality. The end of the movie, seemed to indicate that life wasn't going to be easy for her in the future, as she was going back and forth on the red velvet swing.
