'The Daytrippers'

Sweet, gentle, Long Island teacher Eliza D’Amico, believes she is living a happy life with her husband, Louis. But after a wonderful night of lovemaking, in which he has -- yet again -- declared his love for her, something turns sour. That something is a letter Eliza finds, which quotes a deeply romantic 17th-century poem by Andrew Marvell, and which is signed "Sandy." Eliza, still hesitant to draw any conclusions, shows the letter to her parents.

Her mother, Rita Malone, is a manipulator with deep-rooted suspicions and grating resentment toward her husband, Jim. Naturally, Rita assumes the worst. With her customary bullying, she persuades Eliza to confront her husband in New York City, where he works for a publishing company. -- Desson Howe
