Classy, wonderfully shot film, I really enjoyed it and it made me think. The themes of the trapped woman, suppressed sexuality and inter racial relationships were certainly around in the 50's just beneath the surface. What it made me think was that it could also be a comment on the here and now because despite the rhetoric of politicians I think many people still hold these views and in 2004 that is a very bad thing. So watch it and then think about how many people you know who are just as bigoted today.
