A Doll's House is a 1973 Franco-British film directed by Joseph Losey, based on the play by Henrik Ibsen. It was screened at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, but wasn't entered into the main competition.[1] It was one of two film versions of Ibsen's play released almost simultaneously; the other stars Claire Bloom and Anthony Hopkins. In the United States, it premiered on the ABC television network.
Plot
The main character of this film is Nora Helmer, a simple woman married to a working man, the straight but authoritarian Torvald. Years before, they married out of love. Now, between Nora's desire for freedom and Torvald's strictness, serious sexual friction is threatening their relationship, including actions from their past which could lead to tragedy.
