Yes, I guess if you consider the author, screenwriter and director were men then it is a man's point of view, but I think you need to give Ford and O'Hara credit for conveying the womens POV as well. O'Hara wasn't window dressing by any means and her story was delivered. The attitudes were different back then and it is a lovely period piece that really couldn't be made today - unless it became a "chick flick". :)
