May 1 movie: Tunnel of Love. This movie, starring Doris Day and Richard Widmark as a young couple trying to adopt a baby, was a seething mass of ugly gender stereotypes. Ten minutes in I was so offended I wanted to put my foot through the screen. After half an hour it was just hilarious.
I recommend this movie if you're a huge Doris Day fan, you're intrigued by the sheer weirdness of Richard Widmark as a neurotic, weak-spirited husband, or if you're amused by the ugly gender stereotypes of the late 50s.
