Submissive wife film on now

[thoughtful]

Turner Classic Movies is about to show Dream Wife, as part of their series on Arab images in film.

I havent seen this movie in decades!

TCM shows it now and then.

It's full of horrible stereotypes of evil working American women, people from the Middle East, submissive women, etc.

But it also shows a lovely side of the working woman, who is always competent and wins the day in the end, and teaches the submissive princess how to be a modern woman.

And it has Cary Grant. I like to look at Cary Grant.

I love the series' TCM has done on race in the movies -- they are generally very thoughtful, honest, and involve interesting expert guests. The gentleman they have for this one, Dr. Jack Shaheen, is good.

LOL I'm clueless about this movie but ironically Hubby just pointed out the movie to me, "Look, there's a movie about you on now...!"... sweet of him, but now that I've noticed the movie pop up on FJ... lol :) maybe not ;)

Dayum! I adore Cary Grant. He was so handsome and gracious, but he had such a goofball, self-deprecating sense of humor.

And I'm going to have to look into this film. Thanks.
