Girl's Guide to Good Movies: 1953

This series is based on A Girl's Guide to Good Movies (https://www.listchallenges.com/girls-guide-to-good-movies). I picked 40 movies per year that portray women in an interesting light. In some years women are just props without thought or motivation (the 1970's were especially unkind). Luckily, there's always the heyday of Hollywood when the biggest box office stars were female. Barbara Stanwyck, Doris Day, Joan Fontaine, Esther Williams, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe... thank you for existing in all your complex glory.
