Joe and wife and two boys have maintained a good family and good marriage. However a somewhat of a wallflower of the office where Joe works, suddenly comes out of her shell at the news of Joe becoming Pres. .of the company. It also means she is promoted. She now goes on office trips with him. Soon, an affair is started. Miss secretary truly has a great deal of patience over the next three years. She also maintains her marriage as time goes by. Joe, many times, decides to end the affair, but never for long. Meanwhile, some people already know about the affar. However, Joes wife never suspects, believing his lies. It comes as a major blow when he does decide to leave. Angry and hurt,his wife takes a stand and sues his mistress for alienation of affection. I agreed with defense. It takes two to tango. Can't or shouldn't blame just one.

I enjoyed and appreciated this made for tv movie. It's a drama and although the storyline isn't anything new, by far, it's directed well and handled in a serious manner before all made for tv got just a bit all smiles and silly. Park Overall (sp?) is an underrated actress, in my opinion. She showed up in several films back in the 80's and 90's in mostly character roles that I recall and in this one she more a starring feature, which she holds and pulls off quite well. The plot moves along nicely, without a bunch of slowdown filler scenes. The setting is pretty, realistic, anyway I can't talk specifics of the story or I will give it away but it's a nice 'justice' sort of film and it ended with satisfaction. Giving it a 9 because as made for tv movies go, it's a good one...

A bitter ex wife sues her husband's mistress via some ridiculous old law that should've been banned from being used in divorce cases after 1800. So bitter she is that she couldn't move on like any sane person would do. If this were a man who did this there'd be hissing from all the critics about what a louse he is. But no,make it a woman doing something this stupid and she's a heroine. Brave,strong,determined,and all the other usual bull that Lifetime and other lousy tv movies put out nowadays. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone in good conscience for fear of reprisal by being made to sit and watch a Barbra Streisand movie by my now vengeful ex friend or angry relative.
