Synopsis

A tough drama about a middle-class housewife whose rape experience made her feel not only humiliation but the feeling that she was the guilty party following her husband's waning trust and the harsh courtroom interrogation leading to sympathy for the accused. The sensitive performance by Elizabeth Montgomery earned her an Emmy nomination (director Boris Sagal and editor Richard Bracken also received one) for this acclaimed movie which, at the time, became the second highest rated made-for-television film ever.
