Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1974 psychological drama, written and directed by John Cassavetes, and starring Gena Rowlands. Cassavetes wrote the film as Rowlands, his wife, wanted a role to illustrate difficulties faced by contemporary women, and made it into a film because it would be too intense to perform eight nights a week as a play.Mabel and Nick Longhetti (Rowlands and Peter Falk) are a lower-middle class family in Los Angeles, with Nick working for a construction company and Mabel the mother of three children. Nick is shouty and mean, and Mabel is cracking under the strain of an unhappy marriage and home. Eventually she has a full-on breakdown that results in her being taken away to an asylum for six months. She's sent home, but things really haven't gotten any better. | |

Establishing Character Moment: Everything we need to know about Mabel is right there in her first scene. She hops across the lawn on one foot to load her kids into grandma’s car, nervously conducts the car backing out of the driveway with manic repetition of words, instantly scolds herself for letting them go, stumbles in the yard and adjusts her flip flop, runs inside and points to various things in her living room, like a true obsessive-compulsive, goes to grab a dress box off a shelf but swats it halfway across the room, holds a radio playing opera music up to her ear, goes out for a smoke and comes back in, and finally makes a bizarre gesture with both of her hands as if mocking the living room floor. Yeah, Cloudcuckoolander would be an understatement here. | |

Broken Bird: Mabel is a wreck. When a weepy Mabel asks her father to "stand up" for her, her clueless dad literally stands up. | |

Awful Wedded Life | |
| A Woman Under the Influence / int_deecc9eb | comment |
Awful Wedded Life: A realistic and sad example. The pressures of motherhood and home-making have driven Mabel into insanity. Her husband is incapable of doing anything other than shouting and is unable to give her the emotional comfort she desperately needs. Mabel for her part is bringing random men home from bars for sex. The result is a deeply dysfunctional household. | |
