- I believe the director was Francis Ford Coppola. He was feeling down
- in the dumps about recent lack of success, and his wife talked him
- into making this little gem of a movie to make him feel better.

- I imagine it's the same reason that most women cook for their
- families, but most well-paid chefs are male. When the position is
- compensated monetarily and valued, women get crowded out. Look at
- academia, where the grad student bodies are 50% female but the faculty
- are less than 10% female. Ah, but that's getting off the subject of this
- newsgroup, sorry!
