The World According to Garp

I read the John Irving novel a couple times in my twenties, with mixed feelings, but I'd completely forgotten how much implied rape there is.  (Garth's conception, but also marital rape by Mr. Holm, and probably more incidents later.)  I tuned out well before Robin Williams showed up.  George Roy Hill directed, obviously after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting.
