Sophie and Otto Bentwood are set in their ways. And unsettled in their hearts. They're Desperate Characters, trapped in a marriage that no longer works... yet unable to break free. In a performance widely cited as a career breakthrough, Shirley MacLaine portrays Sophie in this compelling grown-up drama that, in its own jolting way, is a love story.

Starring Shirley MacLaine, Kenneth Mars, Gerald O'Loughlin, Sada Thompson, Jack Somack, Chris Gampel, Mary Hokanson, Robert Bauer, Carol Kane, Michael Higgins, Wallace Rooney, Rose Gregorio, Elena Karam, Nick Smith, Patrick McVey
