allergistsWifeHead

An aspiring intellectual and middle-aged upper class matron Marjorie Taub, the wife of a philanthropic allergist, is engulfed in a life crisis. Her children are grown, her beloved therapist died recently and her mother grates on her nerves. She tries to lose herself in a world of art galleries, foreign films and avant guard theater, but finds she is barely able to rouse herself from her sofa.

Her spirits suddenly soar when a fascinating and incredibly worldly friend from her childhood appears on her doorstep. Lee the Savior who infuses Marjorie with life becomes Lee the Unwelcome and Sinister guest in short order, drawing Marjorie out of her dark mood, but affecting her marriage as well.
