A young married couple struggle with their personal problems and their union and the forthcoming birth of their unwanted child in this grim domestic drama. Much of the story centers on the husband, a former high school basketball star who is unable to leave the glory days behind and fashion a future for himself and his wife. Though pregnant, the wife is constantly drunk and the two constantly bicker. One night, they have row and the husband takes off to stay with his now-impoverished former coach thereby setting the stage for further turmoil and tragedy.
Based on the brilliant novel by John Updike and featuring a superb supporting cast.
