Indeed. Daisy is, at least as depicted in the film, a prefeminist woman living in a prefeminist time. (The way FDR and the King talk dismissively of their wives in their private conversation is depressingly historically true to the times, and not at all unknown today, either.) The movie certainly doesn't pass the final prong of the Bechdel test. 42, on the other hand, rather surprisingly does.
