Elizabeth Taylor and Susannah York both turn in performances that fully capture the excellently conceived characters of Edna O'Brien's original screenplay.
Overview
The venomous and amoral wife of a wealthy architect tries, any way she can, to break up the blossoming romance between her husband and his new mistress; a good-natured young widow who holds a dark past.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The movie in this case is no masterpiece, but audiences are having fun at it because it unzips along at a nice, vulgar clip.
One of those follies that everyone involved (especially writer Edna O'Brien) must look back on with cringing embarrassment.
