shitpeoplesaytowomendirectors:TEXT: “The female characters in the ‘30s movies are very strong. You have to remember that in the ‘20s and ‘30s, and even the ‘40s, women were much more central to movies than they are now. During the studio system women characters were as important, if not more important, than the male characters. In fact the first stars of pictures were women – Florence Lawrence and Mary Pickford. All through the ‘30s women got top billing in comedies. It’s Katherine Hepburn and then Cary Grant in Holiday. That changed in the ‘50s and then it was gone by the ‘60s. One of the things that’s wrong with today’s pictures is there are too many guys and not enough girls. There were more female screenwriters then, too, than there are now.”Peter Bogdanovichdirector, She’s Funny That WaySOURCE: http://creativescreenwriting.com/shes-funny-that-way-peter-bogdanovich/ -- source link
