rape scene

Ok--I admit I gave this thread that subject as an attention-getter.

But, actually, I was thinking about the scene where Matt (Mitchum) just lets his feelings about Kay (Monroe) go wild. He goes crazy. He really goes crazy, and I was actually a little concerned when i watched this part. Though Kay is clearly attracted to him, I can only assume that she--like any normal woman--does NOT want to be attacked in that way. I say "attacked," because that's what it looked like to me. I've never seen anyone get raped before (thank heaven) but I can only imagine that it begins something like that. It was frightening, and not in the least romantic. There was nothing tender or sweet or fulfilling about that scene, and the thing that disturbs me the most is the way Kay just kind of blows it off two minutes later. Who knows what would have happened if the cougar hadn't come.
