A Rage to Live (Mirisch Corp. - Rage Productions/United Artists, 1965). Dir Walter Grauman. Wrt John T. Kelley, from the novel by John O’Hara. With Suzanne Pleshette, Bradford Dillman, Ben Gazzara, Peter Graves, Bethel Leslie, Carmen Mathews. (101 min, b&w, Panavision, 35mm)
Prior to her success as second banana in The Bob Newhart Show, Suzanne Pleshette, who died on Jan. 19 this year, appeared as the sexually insatiable society belle in this somewhat underrated melodrama. In this loose film adaptation from the novel by John O’Hara, Ms. Pleshette holds the screen as a remarkably self-contained yet clearly troubled young woman. Her steamiest scenes are with Ben Gazzara, who played sexual angst better than any young actor in the 1960’s.
