Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Overnight Sensation is a 1984 short film (28 minutes) directed by Jon Bloom.George Peregrine (Robert Loggia) is a professional photographer who shoots advertisements. His wife Evie (Louise Fletcher), who apparently was previously content to be a homemaker, has written a book, When Pyramids Decay. George is not abusive and he's not unfaithful, but he's casually dismissive of Evie as a person and certainly doesn't take her writing seriously, at one point calling her an "amateur".So it's a little bit of a shock to George when the book is a huge bestseller and Evie becomes famous. George gets steadily more irritated when Evie's professional success overwhelms his own. But George, who hasn't even bothered to read Evie's book, gets a lot more upset when he's told what it's about. Namely, it's about a middle-aged couple whose marriage has gone stale...and how the wife had a passionate affair with a younger man.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Based on a short story called "The Colonel's Lady" by W. Somerset Maugham. | |

Chick Lit | |
| Overnight Sensation / int_3e0c47d0 | comment |
Chick Lit: In-Universe. "They say it's a woman's book," says one of George's acquaintances. The plot summary of a lonely wife having an affair with a handsome young man certainly sounds like Chick Lit. | |

Bathroom Stall of Overheard Insults: It isn't a bathroom but the dynamic is the same. George wanders up to the bar at Evie's book party and hears two women talking about him with clear disdain, wondering how his wife stands him. | |
