What happens

Madame X is a 1981 American made-for-television drama film directed by Robert Ellis Miller and starring Tuesday Weld. It is based on the 1908 play by French playwright Alexandre Bisson (1848–1912). This film, one among many screen versions of the play, was "penned by Edward Anhalt working from Jean Hollway's '66 screenplay." The film was first broadcast on NBC on March 16, 1981.
