| I can't believe that this sub-par TV movie is available now on DVD!! When it was first aired, it was titled "A Husband, A Wife and a Lover." It is thoroughly outrageous, laughable and a supreme embarrassment to those actors who are in it. It is the story of a man who comes to live in the couple's household. The stranger is attracted to Judith Light's character, but of course she is married and will not lower herself to have an affair. Somewhere along the line she tosses aside any shred of morality she has and succumbs to their unspoken mutual "passion." Later on it is discovered that the husband has become terminally ill (which I suppose makes Light and her lover free to rationalize that their sweaty and lurid encounter was really "o.k."). They all come to terms with the "affair" and the husband unbelievably accepts the fact that his wife is sleeping with another man while they are all living under the same roof! They become a perverted "Three Musketeers" if you will. The whole scenario is extremely absurd. Toward the end of the movie, Judith Light and her lover border on abusive as they cheer on the ailing husband as he struggles to crawl to the mailbox! If it all weren't so outlandish, I would call an agency that defends the terminally ill from such exploitation. This movie gets absolutely no stars for quality, but gets five + stars for moronic dialogue and plot! For those of you who like to kick back and offer your own armchair sarcasm to underscore such made-for-TV schlock---this one is a real winner! |
| This is the most delightful movie. Truthful, fast-moving, while also taking the time to establish that time is passing. Things are not occuring in the light speed they use for relationships in hollywood. I highly recommend this, though for families, you need to know that there is some sexual content, and a wee bit of language. |
What a Laugh!!
Wonderful "I Can Change" video!
