1:11:01
You swear to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth?
1:11:04
I do.
1:11:11
Now, Mrs. Kramer, would you tell
the court how long you were married?
1:11:15
Eight years.
1:11:17
And would you describe those years
as happy?
1:11:20
The first two, yes.
1:11:23
But after that it became
increasingly difficult.
1:11:27
Mrs. Kramer, did you hold a job
before you were married?
1:11:31
Yes, I did.
When I first got out of Smith...
1:11:35
...l worked in the art department of
Mademoiselle magazine for years.
1:11:41
Did you continue to work
after you were married?
1:11:44
No. I did not.
1:11:46
Did you wish to?
1:11:48
Yes, but every time I talked to Ted--
1:11:53
To my ex-husband about it,
he wouldn't listen.
1:11:58
He refused to discuss it
in any serious way.
1:12:03
He said that I
probably couldn't get a job...
1:12:05
...that would pay enough
to hire a babysitter.
1:12:08
Tell me, are you employed
at the present time?
1:12:11
I'm a sportswear designer
here in New York.
1:12:14
And what is your present salary?
1:12:16
I make $31 ,000 a year.
1:12:19
Mrs. Kramer, do you love your child?
1:12:24
Yes, I do, very much.
1:12:26
And yet you chose to leave him.
1:12:30
Yes.
1:12:37
During the last five years
of our marriage...
1:12:42
...l was becoming more
and more unhappy.
1:12:45
More and more troubled.
1:12:47
And I really needed
somebody to help me...
1:12:51
...but when I turned to Ted, he just...
1:12:55
...wasn't there for me.
1:12:57
So we became more isolated
from one another...
