TCM will show ''My Fair Lady'' tonight (March 25) at 8 p.m., EST, and TCM hosts will discuss its depiction of the battle of the sexes.
Associated Press reports: ''The hosts will talk about why the film adaptation has a less feminist ending than the stage play, and Henry Higgins’ physical and psychological abuse of Eliza Dolittle. Not feeding her and stuffing marbles in her mouth are played for cute laughs in the film. Is it a commentary on misogyny or just plain misogyny?'' |
