Inspired by Euripedes' tragedy Hippolytus and set in modern times, this allegorical tale centers on the love triangle between a fabulously wealthy Greek shipping magnate, his lonely second wife, and his first-born son. The affair between the wife and her stepson begins soon after she arrives in London to bring him back to Greece so her husband can teach him about shipping and he can marry another tycoon's daughter to cement a new alliance. Though the son quickly falls in love with his beautiful stepmother, he cannot overcome his crushing guilt at having betrayed his father. When the wife learns of her husband's planned betrothal of his son, she becomes enraged and confesses her affair. Great tragedy follows as her husband beats his son senseless while verbally battering the wife. Sandra Brennan, Rovi

I've searched before for Phaedra and been unable to find it. Glad to finally give it to my wife, who saw it originally in college, when first released.

Greek Woman Goes Mad!!!
Holy Cow! Melina, what were you thinking??? Jules, WERE you thinking??? This is five-stars over the top! I love it, but beware. The DRAMA is heavy-handed indeed. Melina was riding her stardom full-out; Tony Perkins is so appealing, and just a little weird, but Raf Vallone!!!!--puleeze! Melina, take another look!---are you sure this is the man you'd throw over for Tony??? Clifton Webb, yes, but RAF???!!!
