In this flick, poor Joan is now struggling as a typist. She works out of her bungalow, and apparently can afford the latest clothes, but there's no man in her life, and she's getting a bit long in the tooth. Destiny sends her a charming, handsome Cliff Robertson. Joan first deters his affections yet he is so boyishly handsome she relents and finally marries him. Troubles abound as Joan realizes her husband is a bit of a nut case. More secrets surface, but Joan if anything, will stand by her man, even as he is hauled away for electric shock treatment. Will he remember her? That is the endearing question.
Despite some of these flicks shortcomings, it's not a horrible mess, just a bit far-fetched at times. Cliff Robertson alone makes this a worthwhile viewing. One forgets how good he could be given material to sink his teeth into. Joan, as always, does her very best and she can not be faulted either. There is the ultimate bitch out fest in this film which leaves everyone cheering for her. You go Joan! Much has been made of her appearance in this film and it is disturbing. A butch haircut with widely drawn eyebrows and harsh painted lips makes her appearance almost frightening. The Joker from Batman comes to mind. The first half of the film drags but the second half speeds up and keeps your attention. Watch out for flying typewriters! This movie earns four bitch slaps out of five.
