Comments This piece gives us an insight into Moorhouse’s successful career at the beginning, but how women’s success can quickly plummet. It delves more closely into the concept of what happened to Moorhouse after her hit, ‘Proof’ and tries to give the reader ideas as to why her notoriety came to a sudden halt. It captures the essence of women surviving in the American film industry and comes provokes questions as to why there is such a small percentage of women in the American film industry. It personally then gives us an idea of Moorhouse as a director in America. It identifies what sort of films Moorhouse was saddled with and questions whether or not this was truly a reflection of what she actually perceived herself to be constructing once she made it to America.It gives us a simplistic view of Moorhouse’s struggle to make it big, and answers the questions as to why Moorhouse went from being in the spotlight to being brought back into the footsteps of her directing husband, P J Hogan.
