Quel nostro piccolo segreto

Our world seems to thrive on making stupid movies with even stupider lead women. Walk away, walk away!

This film begins with a bored housewife by the name of "Laura Halpern" (Sarah Butler) starting to suspect that her husband "Greg Halpern" (Peter Benson) is having an affair with his secretary "Hannah Jonkins" (Lucie Guest). At around the same time, she meets a young man named "Elliott Graverston" (Marcus Rosner) who agrees to work as a handyman on a project in her kitchen. One thing eventually leads to another, and Laura has an affair with him which she quickly comes to regret. Unfortunately, Elliott doesn't particularly respond well to her request to break things off between them and things quickly take a turn for the worse from that point on. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was one of those films that relied upon both suspense and eroticism but, because of it's made-for-television format, was somewhat limited in that regard. It does, however, feature a good performance by Sarah Butler who definitely stood out from all of the other actors. That being said, however, she wasn't quite able to overcome the rather mediocre plot and for that reason I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly below average.

...first at all..my girlfriend choose this film to watch...she liked soap-style movies with a bit of thrill....my pain barrier is high....but after aprox. 20 minutes i had to stand up and go to the back porch,because the movie is so trashy (in the very bad way..not like trashy but GOOD..acting,script,etc)...even my girlfriend came in a few minutes later...what a sick-making movie..waste of time and lost of good mood !! CONCLUSION : Don´t watch this movie,...its completely rubbish and disgustig in every sense,trust me ( i can´t remember watch a movie wich is even more worse)

Although I have to admit, I don't even remember where he was staying at. And this is a TV movie, believe there is nothing that will surprise you. Well unless you include certain acting choices I guess. Since this was made for TV there is also no racy stuff never mind anything explicit like nudity. Just pointing this out, in case anyone thought otherwise.

This should not play a role in how much you enjoy this or rather in this case do not enjoy watching it. Some odd editing choices make certain scenes and the acting seem more wooden than it probably is (no pun intended). Ms. Butler is pretty and the infidelity predator is too. So while it lacks other qualities, maybe you like looking at good looking people

First time I saw this LMN movie and it proved to be the standard fare - frustrated wife and mother ignored by husband, cute kid, and good looking love/lust interest.

However, I found the following items rather unique:

1. The graphic depiction of sex (for LMN) - usually it is implied, or if shown, the man and woman are clothed. The sex scenes here were the opposite (although there was no censorable nudity).

2. A reason was given for the psycho's behavior, unpleasant as it was.

3. The relationship between the husband and wife.

Recommend to watch at least once, but don't expect a Hollywood Blockbuster.
