Receiving its long-overdue Blu-ray world premiere here, A Woman Under the Influence is arguably John Cassavetes' most popular and influential film.

Released in 1974, it stars Cassavetes' wife Gena Rowlands (Gloria, Faces) and the legendary Peter Falk (Columbo) as Mabel and Nick Longhetti, a blue-collar couple struggling to cope with her slide into mental illness.
