Natalie Wood , Juliet Mills
Cassie Barrett is attractive, well-off, has three children and an apparently happy marriage. She is also - in her own words - a crazy lush'. Cassie's real love affair is not with her husband or her boy-friend but with the vodka bottle. The result is a nervous breakdown and incarceration in the local ' cracker factory '. Natalie Wood gives a bravura performance as the brash, fast-talking housewife who fights her way back to normality and a new life in this moving and often funny film.
