Daniel Petrie, the director, keeps The Betsy on its lugubrious, though hardly lubricated, course; the solemnity of his touch earned unintentional laughs even from the audience I saw the film with, an unsophisticated bunch who wanted porn instead of corn.

...passed, as I fervently hope. But we must have been emotionally raped; we are measured, above all, by our work; we are encouraged not to bond, neither to each other nor to women. We are desexualized, desensualized; neuter brains, success machines. We are not supposed to enjoy touch, but supposed to be pure, powerful, intellectual, super-human.
