Two hours of watching #AudreyHepburn playing a blind woman terrorized by abusive men followed by two hours of watching @MiaFarrow playing a blind woman terrorized by abusive men.

Apparently this was a trope in the late 60s.
Peak ableism meets peak #misogyny.
After she was flailing around in mud for a half hour, barefoot, @MiaFarrow's boyfriend doesn't even bathe her. Just another layer of abuse, imo.
She's lying in her bed with mud on her face and in her hair.
So she has to get up and bathe herself, even though she's injured.
So of course it's Chekov's bath.

Another "terrorize the blind girl" film ffrom that period was A Patch of Blue with Elizabeth Hartman and Sidney Poitier.
