    While most of you are pining over Marilyn Monroe I heart warmed up more for the male actor. His character was charming, kind, friendly and sweet. Not to mention, he did an absolute gentlemanly thing by not coming on to her like a slimy git that most men act like these days. Oh God why has all the medium of class and decency dispersed to? What a shame people like that have gone extinct

    Prejudice against glasses on women doesn't exist now, but it still did when I was a kid----I was born two years after this film came out. Probably the last real gasp of glasses prejudice was Velma in Scooby-Doo, and that came out in 1969.

    • @90sHONEY
      @90sHONEY 2 года назад +32

      Not really. I was born in 1995 and in the early 2000s teen movies, the ugly duckling always has glasses, braces and curly hair. In the end she gets a makeover and looks fabulous, but of course the glasses and braces are gone and her hair is straight. Typical 2000s narrative. The day I was told I needed glasses when I was 12 years olf, it was the biggest tragedy to me. I was so so ashamed. I'm happy it's different today! And this scene here always boosts my confidence like nothing else! Grateful that they included glasses in the movie.

    • @kohashiguchi1454
      @kohashiguchi1454 2 года назад +2

      ​@@90sHONEY Thanks for the education. I too had braces when young, just so happens, but growing up I felt neither male or female, or even American or Japanese-American----I felt like an alien---which is *SOME* explanation why I wasn't able to see the negative image surrounding glasses for people born forty years after me.
      Television didn't really have Black performers *STARRING* in shows until 1970 (Diahann Carroll in "Julia" and Lloyd Haynes in "Room 222". I haven't forgotten Nichelle Nichols in "Star Trek" or Bill Cosby in "I-Spy").
      I get it NOW, that thinking glasses prejudice ending in 1969 is as ignorant as thinking prejudice against Blacks in entertainment ended in 1970.

      Hard to say, I've read testimonies of World War II nurses who by their service portraits wore glasses and they actually were laughing about how many times American GIs and others came up and flirted with them. Apparently their demeanors were so appealing the fellas didn't mind the spectacles. Perhaps it just depended on the group.

      It still kinda exists today, just not as outspoken as it was years before
      When I was a kid I was so excited to have glasses until later on in the years when I'd hear some comments about how glasses look and I see media portrayed I'd ditch them eventually all together. Didn't wear or get new ones for at least 7 years. Didn't even have contacts. I'm a new adult and I'm at least somewhat confident to wear them now.

    Love the color lipstick Marilyn Monroe was wearing and the glasses are something I would wear, also.

    ...selling Royal Triton. Around a half minute on the air she fondly refers to her very first car, Cynthia.
    1971 when I was 15 going on 16, driver's permit DMV folded paper in my wallet, on my street legal dirt-bike, with Cynthia holding me, her preteens are all gone. Cynthia is being taken to the horse-stall where her teenage fantasy begins, riding her very own horse. 0:59

    I know this was a comedy, but its painful to me that her intelligence had to be watered down in these movies.

    I’m struggling to understand what she said, is it “men aren’t attentive to girls who wear glasses?”

      Back then, it was claimed by some that men wouldn't find girls with glasses attractive. It's unclear how many men ACTUALLY believed that, but it influenced female behavior for years. I have heard however testimonies from nurses in World War II who wore glasses, and from their own testimonies laughed at how multiple servicemen flirted with them (though it helped their demeanors would be considered appealing). This scene with Marilyn was basically making fun of that dumb view, and showing that men indeed CAN find them attractive. Another popular comedy trope in the 1950s involved America's female military members. Originally in World War II, there was skepticism as to whether they were truly qualified for a number of the jobs (by 1944-45 though, they had definitely proven themselves, and proved quite popular with a number of the troops). Now in the 50s, a popular gag was to show THEM as smart and professional, while the young men act like idiots or are in way over their heads, and the ladies must steer them to success. Few today realize just how many empowerment themes were shown in the 50s movies, even if they were done in unusual or frankly bizarre ways.
