Yet he simultaneously refers to it as a &#8220;claustrophobic comedy&#8230; full of unfunny sexual innuendo&#8221; which &#8220;has a smutty feel to it&#8221;. He argues that the &#8220;film seems to imply that because [Day] has a job rather than a love\/sex life, she feels much anger and hostility&#8221;; at the same time, however, he concedes that Day&#8217;s character is actually quite laudable and progressive, given that &#8220;she seems more determined to maintain personal integrity than her virginity; [she believes] having a boyfriend is more important than having a husband; she is as successful at work as Hudson is; [and] she does not take being treated badly lying down &#8212; she has claws&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not quite sure I agree with Peary&#8217;s cynical take on this one. Surprisingly, I didn&#8217;t find it &#8220;smutty&#8221;; instead, I simply enjoyed the calculated sexual banter liberally sprinkled throughout the screenplay:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Day<\/strong>: &#8220;I have no bedroom problems; there&#8217;s nothing in my bedroom that bothers me.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>Hudson<\/strong>: &#8220;Oh, that&#8217;s too bad&#8230;&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, Day and Hudson go at it like the inevitable to-be-couple they&#8217;re posited as from the beginning &#8212; but them&#8217;s the rules of this particular genre. And it&#8217;s exactly Day&#8217;s strength and feistiness as a female protagonist (outlined by Peary himself) that prevent the film from descending into ho-hum mid-century mores. Meanwhile, though one really <em>should<\/em> detest Hudson&#8217;s character on some level (given that the charade he&#8217;s carrying out it with Day is questionable at best, and mean-spirited at worst), somehow his character remains oddly <u>likeable<\/u> throughout. I&#8217;ll bet this is due in large part to the fun Day and Hudson admitted to having with each other on set; their (asexual) attraction to one another is in clear evidence.
