The film is such a old movie cliché: Rich, sickly young woman married to an older man who neglects her. She gets involved with his good friend whose wife is a nutjob snob. The entire concept is one that is hard to wrap one's head around in the 2000's. First, maybe everyone should stop smoking and drinking and Fonda's character should take some vitamins and see a therapist about her mother. Throughout the entire film, a relative kept saying "rich people" explaining to herself the crazy that was going on. I felt compelled to correct her and say, "No, Hollywood on a bad hair day." Could not take my eyes off of Fonda's wig. 2 Stars for being able to see young Jane Fonda and Greece from another era, though.
