===='' Fear of Fear'' (1975)====
Made for German television, ''{{Interlanguage link multi|Angst vor der Angst|de|3=Angst vor der Angst|lt=Fear of Fear}}'' (''Angst vor der Angst'') is a psychological drama about a middle-class housewife, locked into a dull life with a distracted husband, two small children, and openly hostile in-laws. She becomes addicted to [[valium]] and alcohol overwhelmed by an irrational anxiety and fear of her inexorable descent into madness.

''Fear of Fear'' is similar in theme to ''Martha'', which also portrays the effect of a dysfunctional marriage on an oppressed housewife. The central role was again played by [[Margit Carstensen]].
