AMERICAN PLAYHOUSE: MISS LONELYHEARTS (TV)
Summary
One in this dramatic anthology series. This television adaptation of the novel by Nathanael West is set in the Depression of the 1930s. The story concerns the psychic disintegration of an earnest, young journalist who answers letters to the lovelorn in an advice column. The man becomes unable to disengage himself from the emotional traumas of the despairing letter writers, and, in a vain effort to help a woman trapped in an unsatisfactory marriage, he is drawn into a situation with inevitably tragic consequences. (This program received La Prix de la Jeunesse award at the Cannes Film Festival.)
