Louise Lasser deIivers a masterful performance in the title roIe of Norman Lear's sublimely twisted soap opera, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman - at once a parody of the format and a twisted satire of America's media/consumer cuIture.
ln the fictional town of Fernwood, Ohio, suburban housewife Mary Hartman seeks the kind of domestic perfection promised by Reader's Digest and TV commercials. Instead she finds herseIf suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune - mass murders, Iow-flying airplanes and waxy yellow buildup on her kitchen floor. Mary's worId is popuIated by a cast of misfits and oddbaIls: a sexuaIIy confused husband (Greg MulIavey), a sullen 12-year-old daughter (Claudia Lamb), bizarre parents (Dody Goodman and Philip Bruns), a man-eating younger sister (DebraIee Scott), a country-singing best friend and her devoted husband (Mary Kay PIace and Graham Jarvis), Fernwood's devious mayor (Dabney Coleman) and identical twins Barth and Garth Gimble (Martin MulI).
Far too controversial for any network at the time, the incomparabIe Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman is finally given its due with this celebratory and definitive DVD colIection. |
