Summary
Just when Stanley Duke thinks it's safe to sink into middle age, his son, Steve, goes insane. As if that weren't terrible enough, Stanley finds himself beset on all sides by women, neurotic, half-baked, critical or just plain capricious. Stanley… Duke is comfortably settled into early middle-age with a well-paid job and an apparently happy second marriage when Steve, his son by his first wife, begins to show the first signs of schizophrenia. As Steve's condition deteriorates, both father and son fall into the clutches of women, especially the female psychiatrist in charge of the boy's case, and the situation exposes the true nature of the women in Stanley's life. 1984.
