I'm surprised this Altman isn't better known. It's kind of a commercial genre for him - a thriller about a woman going crazy and possibly killing people. It's got nudity from the star, Susannah York, and focuses on her sex life.
Maybe people didn't go for York - who gives a very good performance. Maybe it was distribution - it was from Hemdale and lacked the muscle of a Hollywood major. I guess the a lot of it is ambiguous and part of me (okay a lot of me) wished that Altman had worked on this with a co writer. Some subplots feel unfinished, like York's relationship with her stepdaughter (Cathryn Harrison).
Vilmost Zsigmond shot it, Rene Aberjonois plays York's husband. Beautiful desolate locations.
