About This Movie

So, 'Sex and the Married Woman' from 1977 dives into this suburban landscape where a housewife's journey into novel writing leads to some pretty wild consequences. The blend of comedy and drama creates this offbeat, yet relatable atmosphere. It tackles themes of desire, fidelity, and the chaos that ensues when personal lives become public fodder. The pacing has its ups and downs, fitting for a TV movie of its time, but it really captures the nuances of suburban life and relationships. Performances are solid, giving the characters just enough depth to feel real. It’s interesting how this film reflects the era's societal norms and expectations, making it a curious watch for collectors who appreciate nuanced storytelling.

The film had a limited release and has become somewhat of a rarity among collectors, particularly those interested in 70s television movies. It's not widely available on physical media, which adds to its allure. There are a few VHS copies floating around, but proper preservation and quality can be hit or miss. As a collector, it's fascinating to see how such films capture the essence of their time, and this one certainly offers a glimpse into suburban life and the complexities of relationships.
