But what about Marston himself?
But that is both the strength (and one of the few weaknesses) of writer-director Angela Robinsons film.

Granted this also pushes Bill and Elizabeth permanently off the academic ladder.
Well them, plus his thing for ropes.
The Wonder Woman creation myth is one of the most intriguing and eye-opening in comic history.
Nevertheless, these cut-and-dry narrative choices reveal curiously divergent tangents.
But the one to walk away with the picture is Hall in a fiercely erudite turn.
And were not referring to Paradise Island, folks.
