nancy drew, where are you?

a piece i wrote about single women on celluloid (back in july, before the release of nancy drew was delayed) is in the guardian film blog today:

In the books, the teenage detective is quick-witted and brave. So why has Hollywood transformed her into a shy, socially awkward Bridget Jones type?

read the whole thing here. (if you like).

dazed and confused on
