Synopsis
The slick Hailey novel about passion and intrigue at the corporate level of the automotive industry emerged an elegantly produced soap opera in this project, the biggest ever handled by a single director and highlighted by the Emmy-nominated performance of Lee Remick as the bored wife who finds that playing second fiddle to her executive husband's development of a new car leaves her plenty of time for some extramarital sex, alcohol and drugs. This ten-hour movie was filmed in an unprecedented sixty-one different locations around southern California with a star-laden cast heading a roster of over 150 speaking roles.
It subsequently gained the dubious distinction of being truncated in its repeat showing by four hours with absolutely no publicity -- and with no viewer complaints as Parts 3 and 4 were simply dropped without notice.
