Misbehaviour
I really enjoyed this movie from start to finished. The script tread a delicate line between the political and the comedic, and it did a fine job.
At the time, and in our innocence and naïveté, we all thought this was an "honest" competition that merely was part of the panoply of family entertainment with It's A Knockout and The Two Ronnies. This script was careful to show how public consciousness needed awakening to the obvious objectification of women and the stultifying job opportunities that were open to women at the time.
It was genuinely funny and really very heartwarming as the different characters came to grips with changing reality. Eric & Julie Morley were portrayed as the brains behind a global show and the success of that show was what guided their principles, they certainly did not believe their show exploited women, they believed is exalted female beauty for entertainment and gave the winners only dreamt of opportunities.
The acting was crisp the styling inspired and it breathed in all the right places. Millennials will be shocked forgetting that intent must lay behind any form of discrimination and that this show was mainly watched by women at the time who loved it.
I love this family movie and it reminds us that any form of objectification is a simplistic view of the world.
