They had an entire book to go off of that was truly a story better than fiction and seemed instead to almost make an effort to flout historical anything and write a weirdly modern feeling teenage activist movie with an embarrassingly childish and overt leftist theme. They mixed in weird progressive subplots that had nothing to do with the actual fight the story focused on and did absolute no justice to the true fight of a score of women who fought in court with dignity and bravery despite incredible odds. The story needed no embellishment and yet the writers made it infinitely worse of a story while retaining none of the true historical (and feminist, and at the time progressive) context and events. Embarrassing so embarrassing. Anti intellectualism at its finest
