Disney's reverse mystery is a terrific descent into the dark world of the economic patriarchy with which we are all so familiar---where women get to be sexually-attractive and men get to have incomes, and when a pretty but poverty-stricken young woman of the 1940s wants something more than the legalized prostitution of her loveless marriage, she winds up facing a dilemma anyone unlucky enough to be born both female and poor could find herself facing.
