1980 made-for-TV drama based on an actual criminal case, dramatizing the unique dispute in which Greta Rideout sued her husband John for raping her. Unique in that at this time, marital rape was legal in Oregon. Starring Mickey Rourke, a pre-Terminator Linda Hamilton, Rip Torn, and Eugene Roche.

I think having the year in Roman numerals on the title card may have been a lapse in judgement in this case.

The aftermath of the case. The late-'70s were a different time.
