I agree. She's one of the more intriguing characters.

The premise of the young girl touching herself was well done and very well acted with Betty's own background figuring in her reaction . . . . . all wrapped around the tightly wound-up era (right around the time of the invention of the birth control pill I think and a new level of women's sexual freedom).

The scene in the pyschiatrists office with Betty and the doctor's dawning realization that Betty should be the patient, not the young girl was memorable.

And going ballistic on the "monkey's" wasn't abnormal for WWII veterans of the time. Interesting that they didn't just mock his reaction but explained the wartime background behind it to the point where his view might have also been a sympathetic one.
