The Wife Watch Online

In 1992, Joseph Castleman wins the Nobel Prize in Literature, but his wife Joan seems strangely unhappy about it. Their adult son David, who idolizes his father, seeks critique of his first short story, which Joe keeps putting off. The trio flies to Stockholm as Nathaniel Bone, a biographer with a taste for scandal, tries to ingratiate himself with the Castlemans. Joan’s unhappiness worsens as adulation is heaped on Joseph. His attempts to publicly thank her for supporting him embitter her further.

A College Student’s Dream

At Smith College in 1958, a young Joan Archer, a college student and aspiring writer, is awed by her professor Joseph Castleman, a handsome, young, married man, and his force of personality and advice. Later, Joan meets a published alumna author whose cynical view of opportunities available to female writers disheartens her.

A Revelation in Stockholm

In Stockholm in 1992, Nathaniel, sensing Joan’s emotional state, induces her to talk with him over drinks and says that he believes Joan has ghostwritten a major portion or even all of each of Joe’s novels. While Joan admits nothing, Nathaniel is convinced by their conversation that he is correct. Meanwhile, Joe begins to seduce a young photographer assigned to him, but just as he begins his seduction, his watch alarm goes off for him to take his heart pills, cooling the moment, and she leaves the room. Joe accuses Joan of abandoning him, while Joan expresses outrage over his attempted affair. The argument ceases when they learn that their daughter Susannah has given birth.

On the night of the Nobel ceremony, David confronts his parents after being told by Nathaniel that Joan is the real writer in the family. Joe and Joan deny everything. At the ceremony and the banquet which follows, Joan feels increasingly humiliated because Joe praises her as his support, his muse, his soul. She flees, and Joe follows her. He demands that she take his prize, but she refuses.

In 1960, Joe has been fired for having an affair with Joan, and his first attempt at writing a novel turns out very poorly. Joan, a secretary at a publishing house, observes how the all-male editors dismiss women writers. When Joan criticizes Joe’s work, he threatens to end his relationship with her, claiming she cannot love “a hack”. Joan agrees to fix Joe’s novel for him. The work, titled The Walnut, is published and becomes a bestseller.

In Stockholm in 1992, at their hotel, Joan tells Joe she is divorcing him. They argue violently, and Joe has a heart attack. Prostrate on the bed, he begs for Joan’s love. She tells him she loves him; he calls her a good liar and dies moments later. On the Concorde flight back to the US, Nathaniel offers his condolences to Joan. She tells him that if he tries to print anything that undermines Joseph’s reputation as a writer, she will sue him. David overhears her. Joan says she will tell David and his sister the truth when they get home. She then turns the page to the journal she had opened, runs her hand over a blank page, and looks up.
