Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Howard Avedis made his name in exploitation films before this 'respectable' drama — the trash DNA still shows.
This arrived at the tail end of the 'marital crisis' subgenre that 'An Unmarried Woman' (1978) made bankable — but with way more melodrama and way less critical respect.
