    Wow

    When the husband says baby I want out. I was 14 yrs old when I saw this movie and that line has always stayed with me.

    It maybe painful to watch

    That's the perfect topic for a TV movie destined mainly for housewives in the afternoon. It is a story which many folks can indentify themselves in, this kind of stories happen everyday in every town and country. This is a so close real life tale. I have seen this a thousand times before but I am not tired of it. I would love to see a story about the opposite scheme, a woman deciding to quit her husband and kids. But I guess this very scheme has also already been told about. Lee remick is outstanding in this film. As usual.
