RKO, 1936: Anne Shirley and Katharine Hepburn have father trouble. In\xa0Make Way for a Lady\xa0(directed by David Burton), Shirley gets hysterical at the thought of indulgent 20th century dad Herbert Marshall developing a sex life; while in\xa0A Woman Rebels\xa0(directed by Mark Sandrich),\xa0Hepburn blames stern Victorian dad Donald Crisp for her sexual aberrance. We discuss the careers of the source novelists, Elizabeth Jordan and Netta Syrett, both born in 1865, in America and England respectively; find reason to compare\xa0Make Way for a Lady\xa0to Ozu's\xa0Late Spring, Henry James's\xa0The Sacred Fount, and Hitchcock's\xa0Shadow of a Doubt; and generally make sure that we've got our Freud goggles in place.\xa0
