This very easily could have been a vehicle for cheap laughs and a portrayal of the pablum that was so prevalent in the 1950's. Instead we get a nice dive into the social tenor of the times. There were actually strong and forcibly intelligent women that could cut through the rigid and uncompromising views of the men in power. Nicole Kidman is mesmerizing. By the end of the film she becomes a mirror image of Lucy's appearance. Definitely a movie for someone who has a good grasp of the actual facts and the societal mood of the times.
