Though she has repaid the money, her husband finally finds out about her act. His behavior makes Nora realize that in eight years of marriage he has never looked on her as a human being, but only as a doll. She leaves him in order to learn to become a person in her own right. An original television production."@en
  • "A beautiful young woman commits forgery to save her husband's life. When he eventually finds out, she realises that her whole life has been a forgery, a sham. First by her father, then by her husband, she has been treated not as a human being but as a doll - pampered, petted and patronised. Her only hope is to slam the door on her "doll's house" and start a new life in the real world as a person in her own right."
  • "A dramatization of Henrik Ibsen's stage play in which the main character, Nora commits forgery and risks destruction in order to save her husband."
  • "Nora is sheltered first by her father and then by her husband. All her life, she has been protected like a fragile possession ... like a doll in a doll's house. After she marries, Nora becomes frustrated, realizes that under the dominance of her husband she will never have an identity of her own, and leaves to find a new life for herself."@en
  • "Nora, the "model wife," commits forgery and risks destruction in order to save her husband. But after he rejects her, she leaves her husband and children to begin a new life."@en
  • "Nora, the "model wife," commits forgery and risks destruction in order to save her husband. But after he rejects her, she leaves her husband and children to begin a new life."
  • "Summary: A film version of the play by Henrik Ibsen, with Jane Fonda in the role of Nora, the wife who walks out on her husband and family to find her own identity. When it was first produced in 1879, the play was considered revolutionary and shocking by audiences whose laws and social customs decreed that a wife had few rights and responsibilities as an individual and its regular revival indicates that the theme still has relevance today. Directed by Joseph Losey and with a screenplay by David Mercer, the cast includes David Warner as Torvald, Trevor Howard as Dr. Rank, Edward Fox as Krogstad and Delphine Seyrig as Kristine. The director of photography is Gerry Fisher and the musical score is by Michel Legrand."
  • "Ibsen's play about a woman who leaves her husband and children to find a new life for herself is the basis for this documentary of the process of play production from first read-through to performance. Actors from the Oval House Theatre, Kennington, appear in two scenes from the play staged in three different time settings: 1870's, 1950's, 1980's."
  • "Nora is a woman who is sheltered first by her father and then by her husband. All her life, she has been protected like a fragile possession and when she realizes that she will never have an identity of her own, Nora leaves her husband and children."@en
  • "Presents Ibsen's play in a modern setting to emphasize the timeliness of his message. Shows how Nora discovers that she has been living in a fantasy world, which Ibsen calls her doll's house, and shows how Ibsen slowly destroys her illusions. The second part analyzes the characters to show why their personalities are consistent with the ending which Ibsen chose and examines the themes of the play."@en
