Having lived throughout the depression and the Presidency of F D R, I was pleasantly surprised when I happened upon Roughly Speaking on T C M last week. Somehow,in all these years of movie going and viewing,I never had a clue about this moving film.
The author expertly weaves into the plot glimpses of those bygone days.. The early airplanes,the the struggle to ride out the lean times.
The staid mother's daughter having fought the same crippling disease as had the President,the stock market crash the early war years.
Her heart wrenching scene watching all three sons go off to war.
Although the movie depicted the triumph over adversity women of the thirties/forties achieved, the young women of today are the daughters and grand daughters of the multi taskers of my mother's day
I wholeheartedly recommend this movie to all American women. Edouarto.
