I loved this movie. Worlds collide on the eve of the 1970 Miss World Pageant being held in London, as a group of women from the burgeoning Women's Liberation movement decide to hold a protest over what they see as an outdated, sexist institution that values women only for their appearance. The film explores themes of duty and opportunity as we meet a cross-section of women of various ages and backgrounds. Some struggle against the male-dominated world of their day as they work to achieve their goals, others see the pageant as their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while many are happy to or simply resigned to play the role that life has assigned them. Lively and fun, thought-provoking; a fresh take on an ongoing issue.
