Summary: Wonderful Movie!
Review: I was thrilled to be able to find this movie on your web site. I have been wanting to see A Secret Affair again ever since it aired on tv in '99. Visually this is a goregous movie with many of the backdrop scenes highlighting the city of Venice. I so enjoyed the rather vicarious trip this movie provided. The main characters of the story are crafted in a way that we easily come to care about them and the paths that they follow. This movie will make the romantics out there laugh and cry and smile. It is a wonderfully evocative story and I recommend it to all who love a love story.

Summary: Sorely disappointed!
Review: Make no mistake, if I could've typed a '0' as a rating, I would have done so!
This movie was poor in all the ways I value a film. Anytime a sexual encounter has to be inserted to keep the attention of the audience, it's a loser. As soon as I saw the encounter begin to happen, I was turned off to the movie and turned it off! It was immediately fodder for the trash can. In this film it only took the mindless producers 15 minutes to stage a sexual scene! Any real value it could've had was lost once the sex was introduced. Sex has it's place in the lives of people. It loses its beauty and uniqueness in a relationship when it's indulged in, outside of married life. Was certainly never meant to be engaged in with an audience! How crude and gross!
On the other hand, Michael Landon Jr., working with Janette Oke's books, was highly effective and successful in producing a superbly acted film with all the realities of life depicted in a hopefilled, morally clean atmosphere.
How very offensive and disappointing I found this film! I felt this it to be sleasy and grossly lacked the character development that transforms a film into a great movie. I trashed my copy of Secret Affair, regretful I'd purchased it before having rented it first. I learned my lesson!
