So I was watching an abbott & costello movie (”the time of their lives”) and there’s this character (played by Marjorie Reynolds) who dressed as a man during the revolutionary war so she could be a spy and then she gets shot and killed and comes back as a ghost and spends basically the ENTIRE movie dressed in this amazing outfit like some kind of lady Prince Eric and (THOSE DAMN BOOTS OMG) and I am living for it

I’ve only ever seen one Abbot and Costello movie (Abbot and
Costello Meet Frankenstein, 1948), but the female characters included a mad
scientist and an insurance investigator, and it passed the Bechdel test.
