The issue of women's independence formulated in terms that were already old in the green years of Katharine Hepburn, who would be easy to imagine in the central role of a poor girl from the Australian bush country with her head in the clouds of literature, art, music, all the finer things, and with a wealthy grandmother eager to oversee her introduction into high society. The girl's great handicap in life is generally agreed to be her homeliness. This verdict must cause innumerable women in the movie audience to shrink a little lower in their seats, since the actress in question (Judy Davis) looks quite similar to, and somewhat prettier than, Diane Keaton, unless freckles are taken to be a severe physical defect. Directed by Gillian Armstrong. (1979) — Duncan Shepherd
