Darcia D Although this movie is now dated ( it is from 1972) it is an excellent drama and was nominated for best movie with good reason. It follows the wife of a College Professor who is blindsided by his walking out on her. Never thinking she would have to work ( with her Art History major) she is suddenly thrown into a tough world. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review steve d Its story has been done better despite the actors doing a great job. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A deeply affecting and a fine study of putting your life back together. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Very dated in its attitudes but okay drama. Melvyn Douglas in a small role gives the film's best performance. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
