Synopsis

Among a cliquish set of country club doctors and surgeons,
it seems that sleeping around is the norm. Early in the film,
however, one husband murders his promiscuous wife (Dyan
Cannon) while she is in bed with a rather unlikely adulterer.
The various alliances and rivalries in this close-knit community
are further stressed as the murderous husband uses his
knowledge of the community for a wide-ranging blackmail
scheme. While the police investigate, the doctors who do
open-heart surgery on their patients experience heart-rending
situations themselves. The film has a large and distinguished
cast of actors, including Richard Crenna, Dyan Cannon, Caroll
O'Conner, Ralph Bellamy, Gene Hackman, John Colicos, Diana
Sands and Janice Rule. The story is based on Doctors' Wives
by Frank G. Slaughter. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
