Review of Female (1933) by Tom B — 09 Jun 2008
Ruth Chatterton is running the Ford Motor Co. with a sassy sexuality and an iron-fist in the boardroom.
"Ethical? What's that got to do with business?".
But when she goes after a man with traditional values of what women are "born for" (yikes!), she is troubled and soon decides running the company is too much for her, marries the man and becomes a homemaker. Well-directed (alternatively by Dieterle, Wellman and credited only to Curtiz) and acted but very much a product of it's time. Still it is nice that Chatterton finds love.
