Marge Hills lives a quiet, unexciting life with her dull-witted, unaware husband. Then a new man comes into town, and he gives Marge one chance -- and only one chance -- to accept his propositions. Marge refuses, but gradually becomes consumed with desire for him. Though it seems opportunity has passed her by, her desperation grows and leads her to become incautious... threatening her marriage, her reputation, and the stability of her existence. [More]

May have been more successful had director Ken Cameron taken a less earnest approach...All the same, performances are tops, especially Bryan Brown and on and off screen wife Rachel Ward
