Review – The Stepford Wives

The missus mouth off to you? Gripe when you stay out all night with the guys? Fail to attend to your needs? Bad cook? Lousy lay? Well, if you’re a guy living in Stepford in 1974, you can replace her with a robot simulacrum. Needless to say, this is some heavy-handed allegory from the golden age of the feminist movement. Still, turnabout is fair play. I mean, how many movies are there about how women are all united in a sinister conspiracy to do men in? This movie would make one heck of a point-counterpoint double feature with The Dark Secret of Harvest Home. Mildly amusing
