WTF?!

Just caught this movie on TCM. On what alternate universe was this script devised? I don't care if it's the 1930's or 2030's, NO WAY would any woman in real life behave the way Ginger Roger's character did here.

Unbelievable on every level, this screenplay had to be conceived, pitched, approved and developed by the precursors to the Stepford Wives' male mentality. Here we have two very young and very attractive women in love with the ho-hum attractive guy, Joel McCrea. Ginger, his stalwart and long suffering fiancé, readily and easily gives up her man to the rich and spoiled Marion Nixon. Not only does Ginger concede her long engagement with McCrea to Nixon, she actively assists in the usurper's grab, by taking the lead in preparing their house and meals for the sole benefit and pleasure of the new lovebirds!! Give me a break. Is this the Joys of Martydom Story?!

Then as the tale ends, his well-to-do and now pregnant wife decides that life as a small town wife and mother will not do. Off she goes divorcing herself from both McCrea and her pregnancy, leaving Ginger to pick up the abandoned spoils that is McCrea.
What a waste of time, talent and resources. The only good that comes from this movie is the strongly implied nod to a woman's right to choose, even way back then.
