Mabel, a wife and mother, is loved by her husband Nick but her madness proves to be a problem in the marriage. The film transpires to a positive role of madness in the family, challenging conventional representations of madness in cinema.

"Aivan huikeaa. Shokeerava ja erittäin realistinen näkemys erään avioliiton vaikeuksista ja rakkaudesta loppuun asti. Falk ja Rowlands ovat molemmat huikeita. "

"9.8. Ajattelin katsoa koko päivän elokuvia, mutta tämän leffan hilpeysmaratonin jälkeen minua ei enää huvittanut katsoa mitään, joten kävin ostamassa ensimmäisen Assassin's Creedin lähi-Prismasta ja aloin pelata sitä."

25 From 74: My Favorite Films Of 1974 (25 movies items)

"I recently did a movie list called "Crazy Bitches", listing movies like Fatal Attraction & Basic Instinct. In other words, films about women who are mentally unstable.
