Jill Clayburgh plays, as one character calls her, "a pill-popping dingbat" in this film adaptation of television producer Barbara Gordon's autobiographical account of her addiction to prescription drugs. Clayburgh plays Gordon in the film as a successful television documentary filmmaker whose mounting pressures force her to pop a Valium or two for nerves. She then ingests a few more pills after an argument with boyfriend Derek Bauer (Nicol Williamson). And thus begins her slow and steady compulsion to keep taking more and more Valium. Finally realizing her addiction, Gordon makes a disastrous attempt to go cold turkey but fails miserably, finally having to undergo a painful rehabilitation in an institution. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    Very interesting movie, but most everything Jill Clayburgh does is interesting and this is no exception. The movie takes a little while to take off, but then it reaaly starts to get good. Go see.

    This movie is shot real 70's style but quickly grabs you. She goes thru drug withdrawl with a boyfriend not very understanding with problems of his own. I recommend it.
