From an Ingmar Bergman script. Previously produced for Swedish Television as "Reservatet" and for the BBC as "The Lie" (both 1970). In this Emmy award winning American version for CBS’s reboot of Playhouse 90, an American couple is trapped in their marriage and way of life. Locked up in their bourgeois inferno.
