What is Westworld / Diary of a Mad Housewife about?

WESTWORLD, 1973, Warner Bros., 88 min. Dir. Michael Crichton. Bored suburbanites Richard Benjamin and James Brolin embark on a weekend at a new-fangled amusement park offering a deceptively "real," idealized fantasy experience. It just so happens they’ve chosen Westworld, where immersion in the cowboy experience of frontier times is the order of the day. But the park’s androids go on the fritz, and one very aggressive gunslinger robot (Yul Brynner) has it in for the boys. DIARY OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE, 1970, Universal, 104 min. Dir. Frank Perry. Tina Balser (Carrie Snodgress) is an unhappy housewife, forced to deal with emotional abuse from her ladder-climbing, intensely critical husband (a terrific Richard Benjamin). Tina finds herself in the arms of a handsome, hugely successful and weirdly sadistic writer (Frank Langella), but will this secret relationship prove any healthier than her marriage?
