Secrets of a Willing Wife

About This Movie

So, 'Secrets of a Willing Wife' from 1979 dives into a rather peculiar blend of comedy and marital drama. You have Susana, a New York housewife, whose world shatters when she finds her husband in bed with her best friend. The pacing is quite interesting; it bounces between her emotional turmoil and some surprisingly humorous moments. The film plays with themes of infidelity and self-discovery, exploring how Susana grapples with her perceived inadequacies. The performances, while not groundbreaking, bring a sincerity that keeps you engaged. It’s a quirky little piece that doesn’t shy away from the awkwardness of relationships, and I think that’s what makes it stand out.

This film is available on a few obscure media formats, which makes collecting it a bit of a challenge. Copies are sometimes hard to find, especially the original print from its initial release. Collector interest tends to fluctuate, but those who appreciate vintage comedies with a twist often seek it out for its unique take on marital issues and humor.
