      jonathan m Meah great actress TV movie script Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Good combination- and an odd story based on fact. The title- "A Strange Affair" is a bit more intriguing.This is an interesting story, well-acted by Judith Light and Jay Thomas. When Light's husband (Jay Thomas) has a stroke, she decides to attempt a catering business, at first it is very uncertain, but she encounters a sympathetic auto mechanic who helps her out. If this was fiction, it would be boring. But somehow, Light draws in the audience, makes us care. She is after all, doing the right thing, caring for a selfish husband, and trying to make things work. The children are on the periphery. There are some beautiful winter scenes of Horseshoe Falls and the Seattle coastline, flying at 14,000 feet. This is a good film- give it a chance. Light always rises to the occasion, and makes us care about the characters involved. Jay Thomas is also believable,and sympathetic. Hope to see him in more family drama. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Um...yeah. A woman ends up sharing her home with her unfaithful husband who is recovering from a stroke AND her new lover. Weird. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A really cool film. When a women decides to take care of her cheating husband after he suffers from a stroke she finds herself falling for another man. Now if that isn't enough, she begins to date this man and things really heat up when she moves him into their home. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This is officially one of my favorite movies. The story is, as the title says, strange...but, somehow very touching and sweet. And no one else could pull off those emotions like Judith Light. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie had less of a "made-for-tv" feel than other movies that I've seen Judith Light in. The look at a very real life circumstance of a woman being a dutiful wife yet still a real, passionate woman is interesting. The acting is fairly good. While it does remind me of reading a Harlequin romance novel every now and again, it's slightly more interesting and less trashy.
