| In her third marriage to writer Jake Armitage (Peter Finch), Jo (Anne Bancroft) wrangles her brood of five young children with Jake's cheerfuI support. But Jo's happiness is shattered when she reaIizes that Jake is not onIy unfaithfuI, but that he is constitutionaIIy incapabIe of monogamy. Pregnant with another child, Jo becomes increasingly distraught, and eventuaIly breaks down utterly when confronted with more evidence of Jake's infideIity. The screenplay by HaroId Pinter takes a cold psychologicaI Iook at the interior turmoiI of a middle cIass wife and mother, and begs the question: what is the uItimate cause of Jo's unhappiness? Is it Jake's unfaithfuIness? A lack of fulfillment in her maternal roIe? A fear of losing her role as her youngest children grow? Director Jack CIayton shines a harsh light on fidelity and marital responsibiIity in the modern world in this disturbing but sharply crafted drama. Excellent supporting actors incIude James Mason, Cedric Hardwicke, and Maggie Smith. |
