The story

November 9, 1965: Margaret Garrison is a stage actress who has spent her career starring in virginal roles, although she would relish the opportunity to play someone more savory, such as an Italian prostitute, at least once before she retires. When a blackout shutters her current Broadway play for the night, she returns home unexpectedly and discovers her architect husband Peter being overly attentive to attractive reporter Roberta Lane. Infuriated, she heads to the couple's weekend house in Connecticut and takes a concoction to fall asleep.
