Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaInterviews with Farrah Fawcett stated that during filming they really slapped each other just like they did on stage to simulate reality. Also, in the source off-Broadway stage production, they had to have guards on hand because the violence would be so real audience members would try to jump up on stage and help Fawcett.
- GoofsJust after Marjorie attacks Joe, she splashes boiling water in his face from a whistling tea kettle on the stove. When she and Joe were just in the kitchen two scenes before, she never filled the kettle or put in on a burner. It sat to the side, empty.

Featured review
Extreme for sure
I've never been a fan of Farrah Fawcett...Until now. She was truly amazing in this movie. The emotion she must have gone through shooting re-take after re-take doesn't bare thinking about. This was a very hard movie to watch, the subject matter is decidedly unpleasant and you feel so helpless just sitting and watching a woman being abused for what seems like an eternity. I actually felt that the whole thing deflated somewhat when her friends returned to the house and I didn't find the conclusion at all plausible. The director seemed very keen in using height in his shots and loved using mirror reflections, I believe he should have paid more attention to the pace in the second half of this piece. I'm sure this makes a heck of a powerful piece of theatre, this movie for me, although it had merit, just fell short.
