The unconventional life of Dr. William Marston, the Harvard psychologist and inventor who helped invent the modern lie detector test and created Wonder Woman in 1941. Marston was in a polyamorous relationship with his wife Elizabeth, a psychologist and inventor in her own right, and Olive Byrne, a former student who became an academic. This relationship was key to the creation of Wonder Woman, as Elizabeth and Olive's feminist ideals were ingrained in the character from her creation. Marston died of skin cancer in 1947, but Elizabeth and Olive remained a couple and raised their and Marston's children together. The film is said to focus on how Marston dealt with the controversy surrounding Wonder Woman's creation.

Viewers Review
One of the best films of the year! This important story needed to be told. My only disappointment is that it was only available ‘at select theaters’ rather than shown nationwide like so many inferior flicks!
Beautiful story line, intelligent dialogue, loving premise, and historically accurate.

My girlfriend and I went to see this last night and I have to say that Wonder Woman is the most progressive, game changing comic ever written and by a brilliant writer, who possessed a Harvard Law Degree and a Psychology PhD. He also invented the 1st lie detector and actually worked with our government, FBI, closely. All was based upon his DISC Theory: Dominance, Inducement, Submission and Compliance.
This is a must see movie for women in particular.
