Review of Get Out Your Handkerchiefs (1978) by David L — 11 Jan 2018

The fact that Get Out Your Handkerchiefs won an Oscar is beyond my comprehension. It started off solidly - abruptly but somewhat amusingly. But it quickly went downhill when you witness the terrible writing and endless objectification of its main female character.

Rarely have I seen a more misogynistic film than this one and it was truly horrible to witness. But its third act is even worse and even more repulsive in that uncomfortable relationship. Ultimately the biggest problem here is that none of the characters learn anything and the entire movie was thus a waste of time and an entirely pointless affair.
