Jean Ainslie [Warning Spoilers for 2nd film]
Did anyone else find Jean Ainslie really unlike-able?
She spends most of the film complaining and belittling her husband and acting as if she's so much better than everyone else. The worst part was that she practically stalked Graham Dashwood and seemed more interested in him than her husband? Even going as far as to try and catch his interest.
I think the worst part was when they were sat in the cafe together and she tries to come on to him and when he reveals to her that he is gay, she storms off and takes out her disappointment and embarrassment on her poor husband who was so happy about what he had spent the day doing. (Fixing something that she had complained about).
Then she got angry that Evelyn and Douglas were becoming close friends and snapped at poor Evelyn while she cried over her late husband because Douglas was comforting her.
How on earth did Douglas stay married to her for so long? Even in the sequel her daughter noted how her own mother was always bringing him down.
In the second movie, Joan even tried to cite him 'dating' Evelyn as the reason that their marriage had broken down when she was the one that left Douglas to return to England when they got their money back.
All this despite the fact that Douglas wasn't dating Evelyn, even if he wanted to because he knew that he was still married and so did she.
I honestly wanted to strangle her at times.
