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.
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?
I just saw this movie for the first time and I thought it was very good. I am a big Kim Cattrall fan who plays (Liz) in this movie.Overall it was very dramatic, it is based on a true story about a man who cons his way into having being married to two different women. This was an excellent movie see it when you get a chance you won't regret it.
Steven Schachter knows how to tell a story and keep up the appearances of a rich, good-looking man who surprisingly develops into a criminal. Step by step you discover the real Mitch Parker (Jeff Fahey) behind the curtain. Not only he deceives his second wife Liz Wells (Kim Cattrall) by being at the same time in the same town (!) with two women, but also his friends among whom there is a senator (Bob Belding played by John Sumner). The movie keeps up the realistic touch until the end and you feel that the script-writer (Martin Davidson and others based on a novel by Karen Kingsbury) and the director want to deliver us a message: never trust people who talk too well and too much.
