A film that feels more like a extended play or drama detailing a very vivid picture of someone's mental illness and a working class families' attempt at dealing with it.
Peter Falk stars as the husband of his wife Mabel, and struggles to deal with the whole deterioration until she is sectioned by a doctor.
There is no coverage of her 6 month treatment, although some references make it sound like it was very crude. Given this film was made in the 1970s it is ahead of it's time in covering a difficult topic, something that even today is considered difficult to admit or talk about.
