... trying to find a successful romantic relationship and also trying to balance her strongly held religious beliefs with the demands of her profession.
Page is excellently played by Gretchen Mol. Despite undergoing some terrible events, she does not present herself as a victim. Sweet but not naive, smart but not conceited - its a difficult balance which is successfully done.
It is incredibly stylishly shot - mainly in black and white but with the old splashes of colour film. It gives a very authentic 50's feel throu...more
