Professor Marston and the Wonder Women

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (2017) is Angela Robinson's biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM. The man who created Wonder Woman drew her not from comics, but from his own unconventional life.

William Marston lectures at Harvard, runs experiments tracking blood pressure and pulse that feed into the modern lie detector, and shares a home with two women: his wife Elizabeth and their student Olive. Luke Evans plays Marston, Rebecca Hall is the sharp-tongued Elizabeth, Bella Heathcote is Olive. To 1940s society their arrangement reads as scandal, yet for Marston it becomes the direct blueprint for a powerful heroine armed with a lasso of truth.

Robinson frames the film like a polygraph session, question after question creeping toward a secret the three of them kept for decades. The lasso, the bracelets, the play of submission and freedom on the comic page all trace back here. Stream Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (2017) online on iFILM.
