Synopsis of Der Liebe Familie
Felicity Douglas' British stage play It's Never too Late was the source for the Austrian comedy Die Liebe Familie (Dear Family). Luise Ulrich stars as middle-aged wife and mother Betty Lang. Feeling trapped by her bourgeois existence, Betty decides to try her hand at writing. Her novel not only becomes a best-seller, but is also optioned by Hollywood. Leaving her nonplused family behind, Betty flies off to Tinseltown, only to return home when she grows weary of show-biz phoniness. A similar British film, The Passionate Stranger, hit the screen around the same time as Die Liebe Familie. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
