Jealousy / Educational Video. Dramatizes the origin and nature of a wife's jealousy. Producer: Affiliated Film Producers. Keywords: Marriage; Gender roles; Psychology
Describes the origin and nature of jealousy in a wife. Sally accuses Don of unfaithfulness when he arrives home late for work, disbelieves his explanation, and orders him out of the house. When Don's colleague calls to verify the explanation, Sally gradually gains insight by realizing that she probably projected her unconscious desire for extramarital association onto Don. She struggles through critical introspection to overcome her jealousy. This spare synopsis hardly does justice to this unusually interesting film. Though it was a late entry in the Marriage for Moderns series, it focuses equally on psychology as on postmarital issues. Made in a film noir style, it's a claustrophobic exploration of an overdramatic, possessive woman who undergoes an improbable change of consciousness. Mostly narrated in her own voice, the film seems to present her own emotions as fact without unnecessary judgment, but her self-judgment is extremely harsh and her personality narcissistic. "I know now the real trouble is me. If I believe in us, he'll believe in us." Marriage Family living Couples Gender roles Jealousy Extramarital affairs Infidelity Suspicion Psychology.

It's a pretty good picture of jealousy... She should have married a Catholic who would fear hell too much to cheat on her. :-)
