The Warrior's Husband Reviews

An innovative satire about a dominant group of Amazonian women and the whimpering men they control. Rambeau is the chesty Amazon queen who rules over Pontus in 800 B.C. Truex is her husband, who, like all of the other men living in Pontus, is a full-fledged pansy. The women of Pontus find out what "real men" are like when a Greek army headed by Manners invades their land. The sight of Manners, with his Greek Adonis posings, comes as quite a shock to the Amazonian women, and he quickly wins the heart of Landi, Rambeau's sister. As they discover the benefits of having real men, the Amazonian women gladly allow them to take control. In an attempt to add some sort of social relevance to THE WARRIOR'S HUSBAND, a final subtitle reads: "In 1933 A.D. nothing has changed. Women are still fighters and think man's place is in the home." Surprisingly racy in its portrayal of male and female roles, THE WARRIOR'S HUSBAND managed to sneak into movie houses before the Hays Code made pictures such as this obsolete.
