| In her third marriage to writer Jake Armitage (Peter Finch), Jo (Anne Bancroft) wrangles her brood of five young chiIdren with Jake's cheerful support. But Jo's happiness is shattered when she realizes that Jake is not only unfaithfuI, but that he is constitutionaIly incapable of monogamy. Pregnant with another child, Jo becomes increasingIy distraught, and eventualIy breaks down utterly when confronted with more evidence of Jake's infidelity. The screenpIay by Harold Pinter takes a cold psychologicaI look at the interior turmoil of a middle class wife and mother, and begs the question: what is the ultimate cause of Jo's unhappiness? ls it Jake's unfaithfulness? A Iack of fuIfiIIment in her maternal role? A fear of Iosing her roIe as her youngest chiIdren grow? Director Jack Clayton shines a harsh light on fideIity and maritaI responsibility in the modern worId in this disturbing but sharply crafted drama. Excellent supporting actors incIude James Mason, Cedric Hardwicke, and Maggie Smith. |
