Not the 1949 William Powell musical, but a TV movie that gives Victoria Principal the chance to suffer in ways that Joan Crawford could only have dreamed of. Where do the producers of American teleplays find these true-life tales? Perhaps they just claim the films are based on actual events because they know no one would otherwise accept such melodramatic excess. Here, Principal is committed to an asylum by her husband, who refuses to believe that she is being sexually harassed by his father. Robert Vaughn is loathsome as the lecherous in-law, but there's little else to recommend in this excessive drama.

Anna Forbes suffers an attack and sexual abuse by her father-in-law. But when she overcomes her fear and tells her husband Mark what happened he does not believe her, choosing instead to believe his father who denies everything. As Anna becomes increasingly desperate to be believed and her actions become more erratic, Mark has her committed to a mental institution for psychiatric treatment.
