With any infidelity movie, there is a great chance it will fall flat when the wife is more beautiful than the temptress. With this movie, called "Innocent Thing" on American cable TV with subtitles, the wife is a stunning elegant beauty while the temptress has a mousy face, stick figure and not much going for her other than youth and quick camera edits.
There is a night and day difference when a movie with infidelity has a world class attractive temptress, such as the movie "Argento's Dracula" also being shown this same month on cable TV. The temptress in "Argento's Dracula" has every female perfection to make instant fireworks in any husband's eyes. In other words, the temptress is irresistible.
People are different, but in "Innocent Thing" the wife is a head-turner that a man would look twice at as she walks by, but the temptress is just average and so the whole movie does not work so well. Chemistry is subjective.
