I have NO idea why this was in the queue to watch. But I enjoyed the H'wood look into '54 gender roles at the executive level, the characters, the acting, the plot, and the conclusion.

CW doesn't actually interview the wives. He does group-interview the men, but he observes the wives, and enlists his sister to evaluate them as well.
