Girl's Guide to Good Movies: 1961

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. Some years women are just props without thought or motivation (the 1970's were especially unkind). As we enter the 60's & the rise of 'auteur' male filmmakers, complex roles for women begin to dwindle. European films begin to enter the American consciousness as Hollywood film studios cater almost exclusively to the male audience. Shirley MacLaine, Marilyn Monroe and Gina Lollobrigida jiggle for attention while pristine good girls Doris Day, Sandra Dee & Annette Funicello grit their teeth & smile, smile, smile.
