About The Dark Side of Innocence
A suburban housewife's feeling that her life is standing still causes her to divorce her husband. This causes tension with her daughter, who bitterly resents her walking out on the family, and her mother, whose own beliefs about marriage and family are jolted by her daughter's divorce.
Directed by Jerry Thorpe, The Dark Side of Innocence leans on a strong ensemble — Joanna Pettet, Anne Archer, John Anderson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1976.
