A bit of an interesting film. On one hand it's a pretty dry film about telecommunications and the advancements up to that time. But on the other hand, you just can't help but notice all those women in the Bell labratories. It's good that workplaces like this HAVE women in them, but I dunno, it just seems overridden with women to the point that I'm under the assumption this film was made to prove a point, though I'm not too sure what it is...
