...introduces a British accent for variety. Harper's Todd is an improvement, although his lumberjack appearance detracts from the credibility of his role as a Don Juan. Many of his facial gestures grate after the hundredth repetition but he still performs convincingly as the hard-drinking stud. Genovese's constant head-tossing disturbs her acting, as does her whining intonation. Yet Roffner rescues much of the dialogue with her intuitive feel for timing, breaking easily through her stereotypical role as the professional sculptor/amateur psychiatrist...

The only thing that makes it bearable is constant reassurance that the best does go along with the worst, but the housewife has never had too much of that reassurance. Her husband is often busy with other things, and the children take her for granted...
