Sometimes it takes a film like this to show you how macho most cinema is.
The only male roles of note are the husband who is a minor character generally there to react to Sheba, even though played by a great actor, and the teacher who also falls for her and he is not exactly a glowing example of the male-ness, is he?????
The intensity of this film reminds me things such as Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf?.
Interestingly, the book is called What Was She Thinking with Notes On A Scandal as a sub-title, leaving the main title equally applicable to both the Sheba and Barbara characters.
In the film there is a reference to bus conductors, but I don't think London buses have had conductors for decades, have they?
