1960's...

This is a film clip from the 1965 film, The Sound of Music. In this era the male characters are still more intelligent, assertive and dominant and prevalent (More of Them). However, this film represents women as "The Madonna" as the main female character plays a maternal role. This is a theory/study that was brought forward by McNeil, (1975), were he said that Men are twice as likely to give orders and make decisions, were as women are more interested in Romance and Family problems, and are only seen as Housewives.
