The Weaker Sex (1948)
Directed by Roy Ward
Baker this film based on a play stars Ursula Jeans, Cecil Parker and
Joan Hopkins. We follow a middle aged woman from the final year of
World War 2 to three years after it has ended.
Focused on “The war
at home” this film shows life for the housewives that kept the
country running, or at least the middle class ones who could hire
part time domestic help. This may not be cutting edge feminism but
there are at least hints of topics that would be familiar to many
modern progressives. Due to the short run time this is not the
deepest film you will find on the subject.
3/5
