Superbly directed by Frank Perry, with a scathing screenplay by Eleanor Perry, Diary of a Mad Housewife tells the story of Tina Balser (Carrie Snodgress) a frustrated housewife trapped in an unhappy marriage to an insufferably controlling, status-obsessed bore (Richard Benjamin). Tina seeks solace in a fling with an abusive lover, the arrogant writer Georg Prager (Frank Langella), who treats her like a sex object, leading to therapy and further unhappiness. (Powerhouse Films)
