Oh, honey. People back then wanted to be crushed by her too. They just didn't feel they could be open about it.
Hence the movie
When I see how some women were treated in the 50’s, I get the feeling the scariest thing to many men would be a woman they couldn’t command.
step on me mommy
There's an episode of "Mad About You' where the wife asks her husband's best pal to buy him a birthday present from her. The pal buys a wall size poster of this movie. The husband loves it and keeps gushing about how great a wife she is. She has to grit her teeth and deal with a giant half naked woman in her living room forever.
Uhh I am pretty sure that was the point of the original as well.
Hilarious how people pretend older generations weren't just as horny
