Apart from anything else, there are only two female voices in the film, both of which only get about five minutes screen time max (and one of those fills the 'mother' role).
So basically, the film is 95% male, at minimum, and of the two minor female roles, one is a stereotype. I would not show this to children.

One of the worst films I have ever seen. Every wartime romance cliche clumsily cobbled together into an insincere, ham-fisted melodrama.Movie comment on The Grass Is Greener

I don't know how I hadn't heard of this film before. Great director, great cast, and some fantastic dialogue. Jean Simmons in particular is a treat.Movie comment on The Tales of Hoffmann

I'm shocked this isn't in more top lists. The costumes, sets, music, and choreography are absolutely amazing. A total feast for the senses.
