A View of Women in Films by Jenny Oldfield
Presented by Valerie Singleton
Susannah York, Glenda Jackson, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., George Cukor, Britt Ekland, and Joan Collins talk about the portrayal of women on the big screen.
They paint the scene from the early Hollywood days when the movie moguls made legends of names like Garbo and Monroe and talent scouts scoured the world for pretty girls to make into new screen idols, to the present day when some actresses fight for contemporary roles which forsake the traditional gloss and glamour of the film world. This assessment explores the treatment of the stars themselves, the pressure to he packaged to fit the fashionable image and the penalties to be paid, even today, for independence.
