MOVIE: The Trouble with Women - 1959

Ironic and funny retro film made for the 50s working man and how to cope with those women who seem to be infiltrating the male workplace of America.

With such a provocative title, this film illustrates some of the perceived problems a supervisor might face working with women, but ultimately demonstrates where the real problem lies.

the tone for this film is set immediately at the beginning when brad walks up to a FEMALE employee and scolds her for not doing her job correctly.

the guy can't catch a break . female workers, a new assistant (a dame!), and his cigarette break is interrupted by a FEMALE employee notifying him of her departure due to marriage. of all the nerve!

the supervisor sets him straight when he says that "women can be darn good workers when you can't get a man." see, now brads seen the error of his ways. he just needs to think of women as second class citizens, that way he'll expect less of them.

i have a feeling brad's not married and/or he had a weird relationship with his mother.

fun, good film .
thanks for the review uncle slappy!
