Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (2017)
Directed by: Angela Robinson
Starring: Rebecca Hall, Luke Evans, Connie Britton, Bella Heathcote
Elizabeth Marston: How are you going to learn anything at all about life if you refuse to live it?
Elizabeth Marston: If it is the same work then why can I not receive a PhD from Harvard? Because I have a vagina?
William Moulton Marston: We did it! The link to the lie-detector test was there the whole time. It doesn't matter what you say or what you think. Your body will always betray you. Your heart pumps a record of the truth.
Answer: Though it may be considered immoral and socially unacceptable, particularly during the film's 1940s time frame, it is not illegal to live with multiple people in a sexual relationship. It is only illegal to be married to more than one person at the same time. Marston was not a bigamist. He was legally married to his wife, Elizabeth. They engaged in a consensual polyamorous (not polygamous) relationship with Olive, who was not married to Marston.
