Diary of a Mad Housewife

In this trenchant comedy-drama based on Sue Kaufman's novel, the unhappy wife (Carrie Snodgress) of a supercilious lawyer (Richard Benjamin) who treats her like a doormat embarks on an affair with a charismatic writer (Frank Langella) but finds the road to self-realization far from easy. A biting satire on male self-absorption and female masochism.
