Raging Double Standards Can't Dim Pleshette
I decided to watch A Rage to Live on a whim and am very happy that I did. Suzanne Pleshette gives a wonderful performance. Seeing her here makes me wonder why she never became a bigger star than she did. Along with her unique beauty she is also a completely unique and talented actress. Anyway, she's great and so are Dillman and Gazzara. The story seems a bit dated but looking back to my time a decade later than this film takes place, I can recall seeing this type of double standard between men, women, and sex quite often. As such, it's not as outdated as it seems or actually should have been by this time. Overall, I enjoyed A Rage to Live.
Hilariously outdated thinking
Grace isn't that bad. She just meets the wrong men. With the right partner she'd have been pretty normal.
This is nothing but unintentional comedy. I know double standards still exist today, but did people really take this seriously in 1965? Strictly for laughs.
Watch out for the brief appearance by Brett Somers as a big crouch.
