Fred F @luckyshow Mar 18 This movie was good until the pre-1960s morality nonsense, what I call Doris Day movie logic where a strong confidet woman gives up everything to become a dependent unconfident unserious woman, sacrificing her career, or giving commad over to the man she swoons over. Only Judy Holiday and perhaps Katherine Hepburn didn't do that, See more 10/05/2013 Starts out zesty and modern and is quite entertaining until the cop out ending. See more 08/30/2013 One of my favorite (mostly) forgotten stars of yesteryear, Ruth Chatterton, stars in this pre-code doozy. She's the head of a motorcar company, and sexually harasses her male underlings in a way I hadn't seen since Dabney Coleman in "9 to 5." This being the 30s, though, she gives it all up for one she loves (played by George Brent, Chatterton's real life husband, who eventually left her for Bette Davis). See more 06/18/2013 I would have given this movie 5 stars had it not completely abandonned the feminist agenda. :( See more 06/10/2013 Female is more than just a museum piece from that short era after the introduction of sound and before the enforcement of the Hays Code; it's a strangely involving, patently absurd, wildly entertaining movie. See more 04/21/2013 Another great pre-code movie. A fantasy about a woman who runs a motor company, which predates the Dagny Taggert character in the "Atlas Shrugged" novel. Billed as a typical woman-who-must-be-tamed picture, but this really comes across much more audacious than that. See more Read all reviews
