Hobson’s Choice is a favorite of a dear friend, so on Saturday night, I joined in her annual Thanksgiving viewing. She describes it as a romance without all the pesky romantic bits, which is a rather fair assessment.
It is also the story of how one woman took control of her own future, in a time when women had very little control, even over their own lives. (The movie is set in turn of the century Victorian England.) The ending is happy, not just because this is aHollywoodcreation, but because the protagonist wouldn’t have it any other way.
