Period of Adjustment (1962)

Directed by George Roy Hill
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

The cast struggles with their southern accents in this Tennessee Williams story. Jane Fonda is a dazed and confused newlywed with a Marilyn Monroe doo. Her husband gets the shakes whenever they try to have sex. His old war buddy is also having marriage problems in the suburbs. Williams' story is often dumb-downed for the comedy, but some of his keen observations on marriage and suburbia will occasionally percolate through the dialogue.
