About this release
Oscar-nominee Sally Kellerman (MASH) stars in Dorothy Parker's 1929 O. Henry Prize-winning short story which poignantly chronicles the life of a vivacious showroom model and good-time party girl in the 1920's who gives up her high-life for marriage to a traveling salesman - played by four-time Emmy winner John Lithgow (Third Rock from the Sun). When he turns out to be a hard-drinking philanderer, the marriage deteriorates - and the now-blowsy and dissolute aging flapper turns to drinking for solace, moving from man to man as she sinks into an alcoholic haze. Also starring Anita Morris, Peg Murray, George Coe and Rosetta Lenoire.
