	Math in the Movies
		In a movie filled with stereotypes, we should not expect a woman mathematician to be anything but cold.
		Early in the movie there a car is rushing to an airport and the camera pans down to show a book on the seat, presumably to tell us that we have a physicist in the car.
		The movie ends on an up-beat note, mathematically, when the obnoxious grad student and Jill share (in a rather cryptic exchange) some clever insight that would lead to the solution of the classification problem.

		It stars William Holden as down-on-his-luck screenwriter Joe Gillis, and Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, a faded movie star who entraps the unsuspecting Gillis into her fantasy world in which she dreams of making a triumphant return to the screen.

		I have a sneaking suspicion this can be funny and work as a comment on changing standards for women of the time, and once again the costumes set the stage for it (since she and her sister and her mother all appear in that scene wearing frumpy dresses).
		Barbara is the last to be brought around to Adolphus' way of thinking, but that makes their "happy ending" together as a couple into a tragedy.
		As Major Barbara, Wendy Hiller's performance is a bit over the top, but she also conveys a great deal of subtlety and depth.

	Robert Morley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robert Morley (May 26, 1908 - June 3, 1992) was an Oscar-nominated British actor who, often in supporting roles, was usually cast as a pompous English gentleman representing the Establishment.
		In his Movie Encyclopedia, film critic Leonard Maltin describes Morley as "recognizable by his ungainly bulk, bushy eyebrows, thick lips, and double chin, […] particularly effective when cast as a pompous windbag".
		Born Robert Adolph Wilton Morley in Semley, Wiltshire, England, he attended Wellington College, RADA and made his West End stage debut in 1929 and his Broadway debut in 1938 but was soon won over to the big screen.

		As for satiric movies, they usually either reprove general foibles or are smugly topical, probably because almost no one who has made movies in America has had the intellectual stature to do much more.
		When you remember that movies are for people to go to after work, or on weekends, and that even a moderately successful job or career takes a lot out of you, it’s not surprising that more people don’t want to plumb the existential significance of failure...
		But it’s not difficult to separate the quite standard comic plot of Major Barbara, which involves both Dolly’s pursuit of Barbara and the reconciliation of her family with their father, from the idea put forth that high-minded idealists need to protect themselves with weaponry as much as anybody.

		The title character (Wendy Hiller) is the daughter of a millionaire arms manufacturer (Robert Morley); she is a zealous Salvation Army officer, trying to convert the destitute of London with enthusiasm, sympathy and 'a bribe of bread'.
		Barbara is tested by drama; Undershaft fights back with mind-numbing spectacle - capitalism's genius is that it absorbs all opposition.
		'Barbara' is one of Shaw's less intolerable plays, with the odd funny line (all snatched by Marie Lohr as Barbara's aristocratic mother) peeping through the flat epigrams, laborious dailogues and general sterile clever-cleverness.

		Possessed by unbridled rhetorical vitality, he was responsible for some of the most recklessly flamboyant characterizations the screen has seen.
		Robert Mitchum (who said that Laughton was the best director he worked for), but the Hans Anderson-like clarity of the conception, the extraordinary mythic precision, ad the ease with which the film moves from nightmare to lyric - those great virtues come from Laughton.
		Better still, the movie brings to life a chill, dewy innocence enough to dissolve the rabid grasp of hatred.

		This was one of the few movies starring Richard Quine (in a supporting role) before he reached his acting zenith (Brad Craig in 1943's "We've Never Been Licked"), and in was good to see this outstanding future director in FRONT of the camera.
		Busby Berkeley directing these two in their prime is bound to produce an entertaining movie even if the plot is just a trite story about two young people trying to make it big in New York.
		This movie, like many other musicals of it's time, is not trying to make a statement, it's a celebration of all the things that make life worth living.

		Hiller in The Times of London points out that "she had an inimitable voice, something between a quaver and a slight stammer," and she was not a conventional beauty.
		Indeed, in the movie of Pygmalion she seems much older than the young Eliza should be.
