By the 1950s, movies had established the stereotype of librarians as "spinsters" and "eggheads". Thus, female movie librarians are usually unmarried, prim, and introverted. They are usually young and may be attractive, but dress drably and are sexually repressed. The "fate-worse-than-death view of librarians" is particularly evident in movies such as "It's a Wonderful Life" and "The Music Man". In "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946), Mary Hatch Bailey (played by Donna Reed), is depicted as an "old maid." It is also evident in films like "Foul Play" which features a shy San Francisco librarian fall in love with a "goofy cop." In contrasts, male movie librarians – mild, intelligent, and timid – have fewer and less important roles.
