Director: Michael Tuchner
Genres: Drama
Rating:
Haywire was adapted for television by Ivan_Davis and Frank_Pierson from the best-selling autobiography of Brooke_Hayward. Played herein by Deborah_Raffin, Brooke is the daughter of legendary Broadway producer Leland_Hayward (Jason_Robards) and the brilliant stage and film actress Margaret_Sullavan (Lee_Remick). The much-married Leland is overindulgent but aloof and casually cruel; the lovely Margaret is an emotionally unstable perfectionist. The residue of this dysfunctional family relationship includes the suicides of Ms. Sullivan and Brooke's sister Bridget (Dianne_Hull), and the confinement to a mental institution of Brooke's brother Bill (Hart_Bochner). How Brooke herself survives this "haywire" situation provides the meat of this 2-hour film. Brooke's brother William_Hayward was the producer of Haywire, which originally aired May 14, 1980.
