Beautiful writing! I also loved watching room at the top, even though Signoret’s character pays usual price for defying patriarchal convention. (She joins the ranks of Hepburn and Bergman and Taylor in that!) But if you stop watching enough before the end she’s super sexy and inspiring! I might have to create a device that stops these old films right before they begin punishing the strong, cool women — we forget the endings and only remember the cool parts, yes, but somewhere in the back of our minds their punishment lurks as a (shabby) lesson to us!
