Women in the Cinema
' Sex means big box office and that, by and large, has been woman's role in the movies-to flaunt herself and thus to titillate. But happily, things are now changing.'
Barry Norman looks at the changing image of women in the cinema, with the help of film stars Jane Fonda and Dyan Cannon , and the British film critic Margaret Hinxman.
Films shown include Dance, Girl, Dance, made in 1940 by Hollywood's only woman director,
DOROTHY ARZNER ; DYAN CANNON 'S Number One; and this year's Oscar-winning Coming Home.
Other actresses featured include Shirley MacLaine , Anne Bancroft and Melanie Mayron.
