A very amusing and even funny story that is sometime just too difficult with some of the dialogue. Brilliant writing all the time even if it is a little too of gruelling, even distressing especially from Richard Benjamin as the part he has is so good it is scary. He so wants to impress other people and so makes his wife frantic. It is also terrible that he mocks his wife in front of the children. Carrie Snodgress finds something at least in an affair with Frank Langella but in the end both the men seem to send her crazy. Snodgress is splendid and if she seems just a little too mad it is so well done and as first with Langella also so well, even if she gets a little hysterical. Of course although we think Benjamin certainly as mad he is consumingly ambitious. At the end it crashes down and a moment of reality means that perhaps the couple will survive.
