Was Our Dear Laura a slut?


Bouncing between half a dozen men?

reply

If it was a man bouncing between half a dozen women you'd be calling him "a player", fvck off.

reply

No, we'd pretty much call him a slut, too. (And why the profanity, kslotus24?)

reply

Slut usually implies she is sleeping around, which is not suggested in this film.

If a woman looks like Gene Tierney, she would have to fight off the suitors pounding down her door.

reply

Which is the question: was it indeed suggested?

๎€Ž~ I didn't think Laura Hunt was slut. She just seemed to be interested in men her age & dating the ones she liked. Waldo didn't fall into her category.๐Ÿ˜›

She did seem slutty and a little bitchy. How it was portrayed see allure.

reply

She couldn't have been sleeping around. If she had been, then Waldo would have come after her with his rifle, like he did when he thought that she was sleeping with Shelby.

Dating around does not make a woman a slut. She's what? In her 20s or something? Shouldn't she be dating different men?

reply

My mother was in her twenties in the 1940's. And, very good looking. I think she would have recognized Laura's social life as anything but "slutty".

Until I was 30 (1983), she actively encouraged me to date around and didn't really want me to have a boyfriend. When I did, she would lament that other men would be discouraged from asking me out.

What was intere

reply

She was a beautiful young woman with a high-paying professional career, so she had lots of suitors. I don't think she had sex with them.
