Wait, if she’s into Mr. Bryant, why bring the lemonade-drinking socialist into things at all?

To be honest, I don't know where he came from, apart from maybe the author just wanted to push a rotten socialist in the river. She knew all along that Mr Bryan would never have her, because Class, but Fred was illiterate and had embarrassing parents who shared the boat with him and she wanted something a bit more than washing up in her life.

(ETA: I keep trying to call him Mr Bryant; I think I've caught the last error now...)

I don’t know whether this means it’s actually preferable, if one happens to be a decent-but-boring type, to exist in a Drama.

Well, Fred comes out of it okay in this one, and I don't think any of the other men do (Mr Bryan winds up vaguely ashamed of himself and marrying a bitchy rich woman), but it's not really a scientific survey over just one film. Poor decent-but-boring types, though!
