What a gem of a true crime story. A bigamist and con man. The first part has an exciting catch me if you can fraudster con man thing going on with a satirical tone. Then things get more serious and it's quite a gripping movie.
Written clearly and with wit.
Jeff Fahey is in his element here and acts well slimy smooth and tortured. Kim Cattrall acts very well and is really beautiful here.
Worth watching.

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 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.
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.
I think every young woman looking for the "perfect man" should watch this movie and learn from it. I recorded it for my 2 daughters, both of whom have had their hearts brokens by a smooth-talking "Mitch." Jeff Fahey is the perfect antihero. He's got Mitch's charming, albeit narcissistic, personalty down so well that the viewer can easily get caught up in his lies. In a scene where he practices telling the truth, I found myself cheering him on, hoping he would ultimately fess up and redeem himself. The film is true to reality here... these types never do,even when confronted with the overwhelming evidence of their lies. Underscored by the use of a whimisal soundtrack throughout the first 3/4 of the film, men like Mitch are often perceived as harmless and entertaining. The startling end brings us to the reality that Liz (wonderfully played by Kim Cattrall)never quite gets until its too late, reminding us how dangerous these seductive types really are.
