Synopsis
This version of Frances Farmer's tragic story appears to be more accurate than the feature film "Frances" (1982), being adapted by Dalene Young directly from Farmer's autobiography. It traces her life from childhood in Seattle through her college years, her flirtation with radical politics, her success in films and the theater, her doomed love affair with Clifford Odetts, her physical and mental breakdown, and her ultimate emergence from an institution where she spent five years and underwent a lobotomy.
