Film of the Week: From the Terrace

Paul Newman stars in the second of a short season of his greatest films, tonight with Joanne Woodward, Myrna Loy

Husband-and-wife team Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward's third film together was based on John O'Hara's sprawling best-seller about the social snobbery and the neuroses of the very rich. Newman is the ambitious and ruthless mill-owner's son, determined to outdo his father, and Joanne Woodward the snobbish socialite he marries, to improve his status, and then neglects.
