Oh, hons, that barefoot beauty victim routine went out with the 1940's when B- companies like Monogram and Republic were churning women as victim films with actresses who went nowhere, like Sheila Ryan, Kane Richmond, and Stephanie Bachelor.
Sure, the Fifties tried to revise it, with Julia Adams, Mara Corday and Faith Domergue being menaced by monsters, but that only lasted a short while. Women don't want to look clingy and helpless these days, they want to look glamorous and chic!
So, let us hope this is not an omen for the Spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it is, I will just scream for Elsa Schiaparelli knockoffs, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you are so right, it’s not acceptable any more to want to be rescued!!
