Der Mann der Anderen

If you like swimming or hate it, this is the film for you. There are lots of funny and enjoyable Senior Citizen's swimming all around and especially a face from the past, Charlotte Rae,(Betsy) "Facts of Life",'79 TV Series, who gives Gail O'Grady,(Susan Miller),"NYPD Blue,'93 TV Series, lots of smiles and support. Susan and Johnny Miller/Jake, are husband and wife and were childhood sweethearts, the marriage is going sour and Donna Hanover (Psychologist)who adds to the problems with her fear of the water and the hots for Susan's husband Johnny/Jake. This is a very enjoyable film and worthwhile viewing. It was great seeing Charlotte Rae, who was a great star in "FACTS OF LIFE" !

I hate for you to watch a good movie you have to put it on your wish list or buy or rent the movie why have on here if you have to pay to watch it.its a great movie to watch.minus the long commercials.its sad that you can't even watch the movie I just hope they figure out a better way to watch these good movies.

has a dual role as a dependent housewife stuck in a relationship with Dale Midkiff, who becomes bored, and strays. Lisa Rinna is the other woman, and does quite well, although it is a bit hard to imagine her as a Ph.D.

Without spoiling the story I will just say that this a movie worth watching. Gail O'Grady used to play the bimbo parts in NYPD blue, but I now have to update my movies with her as another favorite.

She plays a swimming instructor to senior citizens, who is excellent at her job, but has emotional problems within her own life (Sally Kirkland plays her flighty, alcoholic mother). She has failed to value herself as a person, putting all her energy into the marriage with Midkiff.

While the direction is a bit flawed, the story line is believable, and O'Grady's performance is worth seeing. There is a surprise ending.

Typical soap opera story line, but the situation is intense enough to be very interesting. Susan(Gail O'Grady) is a swim instructor trying to hold her marriage together. Her new best friend is Laurel(Lisa Rinna)a psychologist who needs swimming lessons to help rid her childhood guilt of watching her little brother drown. Laurel falls in love for real for the first time, not knowing the man is her best friend's estranged husband. A funeral places all three at the same place at the same time blowing the sordid secret of the husband(Dale Midkiff).

Midkiff plays the two timing charmer flawlessly. Rinna is just plain alluring. O'Grady goes back and forth from needy and frumpy to new found confidence and striking beauty. Also in the cast are Sally Kirkland and Carroll Baker. A good chick flick that a guy can learn from.

I thought this movie was good. I don't normally watch dramas like this one but I thought I would give it a shot! This movie was like any other movie where you have a married couple going through some marital issues. (Spoiler) The guy finds another woman, falls in love in love with her and divorces his soon-to-be ex-wife. However, the two women start to become close friends when they take swimming lessons together. The guy of course lies to the younger looking lady and ends up losing her as well! It kind of surprised me to see Charlotte Rae from the Facts of Life and Different Strokes shows making a cameo! I like the way it ended when the swimming instructor and the student were seen running towards the ocean to get away from it all!
