Breaking Up is a 1978 American TV film. It was directed by Delbert Mann and written by Loring Mandel. [1] [2]
A woman re-evaluates her life after her husband walks out on her following 15 years marriage.
The Los Angeles Times called it "outstanding". [3]
The film was adapted into a pilot Tom and Joann where the leads were played by Joel Fabiani and Elizabeth Ashley. [4] The series did not result.
The film received some infamy for being audible in the background during one of American serial rapist and serial killer Joseph James DeAngelo's taunting phone calls to a previous rape victim who he threatened to attack again and murder.
