News About "Professor Marston & the Wonder Women"
William Moulton Marston was a more complicated man than hinted at by his outward appearance. Professionally, he was a Harvard graduate, psychologist, inventor, and author. Yet his greatest fame came as a comic book writer and the creator of the character Wonder Woman.
Not as well know were the complications of his personal life where he cohabited with both his wife, Elizabeth Holloway Marston, and his mistress, Olive Byrne (and fathered children with each woman).
His three-way relationship (which the movie trailer implies also included a romantic interest between the two women) is called "polyamorous", by director Angela Robinson in an interview by Advocate. The authors of the article (Diane Anderson-Minshall and Tracy E. Gilchrist) go on to say: "If the subject matter and star [Luke Evans] weren’t enough of an LGBT draw, the film is helmed by a queer cavalcade: Transparent creator Jill Soloway, veteran producer Andrea Sperling (But I’m a Cheerleader), Clare Munn (who made headlines for her relationship with actress Maria Bello), and famed lesbian director Angela Robinson (above, D.E.B.S.,The L Word). " The writers further explain: "The movie also delves into BDSM, something prevalent in their private lives as well as in the original Wonder Woman comic books (scandalous for the time)."
Parents with children who are fans of Wonder Woman will want to take note that Professor Marston & the Wonder Women is rated R by the MPAA "for strong sexual content including brief graphic images, and language." The movie about the super hero Wonder Woman will likely be a better pick for teen viewing -- and it releases to home video on 19 September 2017.
