Kartenhaus der Liebe

I enjoyed this drama. It was well written and acted and absolutely easy to follow. It was particularly well developed in terms of how women can be seduced into a web of deception without a clue. These were bright, successful, women who went down the rabbit hole. I'm not sure what the mystery was since, to me, it was apparent that Mitch was a smooth talking conman-perhaps because I have a long history with such people-who moved much too fast. I have one criticism: where exactly was the comedy? The story held together well, as a true drama, but there was literally no comedy whatsoever. Was that just put in there to attract more viewers? Is so, it wasn't necessary.

OK, so a guy ends up married to two women. The women, who are both smart, attractive, and successful, are utterly clueless about his double life. He practically does handstands and jumps through hoops to keep up the deception. A potentially amusing situation in other stories. But in this case, the rapid turn of events crescendoes to such a tragic outcome that the viewer feels slammed by a jolting deceleration, from any humor, to horror.

What a gem of a true crime story. A bigamist and con man. The first part has an exciting catch me if you can fraudster con man thing going on with a satirical tone. Then things get more serious and it's quite a gripping movie. Written clearly and with wit.

Jeff Fahey is in his element here and acts well slimy smooth and tortured. Kim Cattrall acts very well and is really beautiful here.

Worth watching.

I recently watched this movie on cable a few months ago, and I could not stop crying. I initially thought it was a typical drama movie, however, there was more to it. I am divorcée of a NPD and I did not realize this or ever heard of people with NPD, until I saw the movie. The commentary helped me to understand the concepts of people with NPD. This movie opened doors for me that I did not know how to close. Again, Thank you for making such a good and important film. The actors depicted real life situations and how woman can be naive. It is most definitely a wakeup call for people to see. As I look back and relate some instances of my life with this movie, I can say that it captured a lot of close issues that I endured during my marriage. I have since been diligent in learning more about people with NPD.

Every Woman's Dream is a very interesting story. If it were true, who were the characters upon whom it was based. Would love to know more about what happened to the character of Mitch - is he still on death row? What happened to his first wife, Candy? Does anyone know? Did this story take place in Florida and California? There are probably thousands of self-centered narcissists like Mitch and it is an important movie for all women to watch. No man is that perfect and it is surprising that his first wife took so long to figure out that he was such a liar. The movie starts out by claiming it is a true story, but I don't recall ever hearing anything about this. What about the senators and congressmen with whom Mitch had dealings? What happened to them?
