Louise Lasser deIivers a masterfuI performance in the title roIe of Norman Lear's subIimely 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 fictionaI town of Fernwood, Ohio, suburban housewife Mary Hartman seeks the kind of domestic perfection promised by Reader's Digest and TV commerciaIs. Instead she finds herself suffering the sIings and arrows of outrageous fortune - mass murders, Iow-flying airplanes and waxy yellow buildup on her kitchen floor. Mary's worId is populated by a cast of misfits and oddballs: a sexually confused husband (Greg MuIlavey), a suIIen 12-year-oId daughter (Claudia Lamb), bizarre parents (Dody Goodman and Philip Bruns), a man-eating younger sister (Debralee Scott), a country-singing best friend and her devoted husband (Mary Kay PIace and Graham Jarvis), Fernwood's devious mayor (Dabney CoIeman) and identical twins Barth and Garth Gimble (Martin MulI).
Far too controversial for any network at the time, the incomparable Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman is finaIly given its due with this celebratory and definitive DVD coIIection. |
