From Sirk's 'All That Heaven Allows' in which Cary's children underestimate their mother by attempting to supply her with distraction in the form of a television after preventing her from marrying the man she loves.
For a key scene parallel to this, see Rainer Warner Fassbinder's "Ali: Fear Eats the Soul" when Emmi's kids confront her about her relationship with Ali.
What a tragedy. Those APPALLING children! That fatuous son, selling her house out from under her! That self-centered ditz of a daughter, saying, "Of course, that was different. You didn't REALLY love him. Did you?" I wanted to bitch-slap the both of them back to Princeton or Iraq or whatever rocks they crawled out from under, and give Carrie a sweet, last chance. And I bet I'm not alone!

Terrible acting from Wyman when she puts her head in her hands--the director should have made her do it again.
