    Adaptation of Joan Didion's mercilessly incisive novel chronicles the unravelling of Tuesday Weld's Maria Wyeth, a Hollywood actress adrift on the freeways of Southern California. Alienated by husband Adam Roarke's outsized ego, even her friendship with a sympathetic gay producer Anthony Perkins can't save her from her all-consuming emptiness.
