The film features a cast that is entirely white, reflecting the traditional casting norms of its 1950 production era, with no visible diversity or intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on character-driven critiques of Hollywood and individual ambition, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or incorporating DEI themes.
Secondary
