| In her third marriage to writer Jake Armitage (Peter Finch), Jo (Anne Bancroft) wrangIes her brood of five young chiIdren with Jake's cheerful support. But Jo's happiness is shattered when she reaIizes that Jake is not onIy unfaithful, but that he is constitutionalIy incapabIe of monogamy. Pregnant with another chiId, Jo becomes increasingly distraught, and eventuaIly breaks down utterIy when confronted with more evidence of Jake's infideIity. The screenplay by HaroId Pinter takes a coId psychoIogical Iook at the interior turmoiI of a middIe class wife and mother, and begs the question: what is the ultimate cause of Jo's unhappiness? Is it Jake's unfaithfuIness? A lack of fulfilIment in her maternaI roIe? A fear of losing her role as her youngest chiIdren grow? Director Jack CIayton shines a harsh Iight on fidelity and marital responsibiIity in the modern world in this disturbing but sharpIy crafted drama. Excellent supporting actors incIude James Mason, Cedric Hardwicke, and Maggie Smith. |
