Joanne Woodward is having a heck of a mid life crisis. She has dreams about airplane crashes, is obsessed with the past, is battling depression and regret, has a gay son in Amsterdam who has forgotten her and a husband who threatens to leave her if she doesn't change. It the middle of all this her mother dies, sending her precariously close to a breakdown. In one chilling scene, she thinks she sees her dead mother and grandparents on a crowded escalator. Her husband takes her on a trip to Europe to try to cope, but he ends up revisiting some of his own demons. Excellently acted by Woodward, Martin Balsam as her husband and Sylvia Sidney as her mother.
