It's funny how guys say it didn't mean anything, but is still willing to risk everything for nothing
It is true though. Men are wired differently to women. We can have sex and it can mean absolutely nothing, it’s just an orifice to gain a relief, whereas women need to FEEL something to be able to have sex, because they’re emotional beings. Men don’t.
It doesn’t mean we love our woman any less.
Exactly 😢
There’s no excuse … if a person is in love with his or her partner, they don’t commit adultery … full stop
I couldn't agree more. It did mean something when he made the choice to have an affair.
Especially in this movie, he didn't think even for a second how his fling would affect his marriage. Someone who cares about his wife's feeling wouldn't make such careless choices.
I agree, my husband cheated with our babysitter. To me that was the ultimate betrayal, the woman I trusted to care for my 6 month old baby. Ugh! I still shiver and its been 47 years. I kicked him to the curb when that happened and I've been happily married to someone else for 37 years.
Remember, Cheating is NOT a mistake, It’s a choice! 💯
THANK YOU!!!!
I don't know how it is a choice when you're drunk.
@@johnathanholmes1297 You are right he was drunk. But when saw Alex coming at him at full speed with that giant knife he sobered up in a hurry!!!!! Lol!!! It was a "rude awakening"!!! His dream girl turned into a nightmare!!!! Lol!!!! Thank goodness it was just a movie!!!!
@@BingCherry11 Well, I mean in real life. 😂
@joanarc7963 Fair Point.
“The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you”, but the first thing I wanted to do was think of myself.
So true
Shouldve gotten counseling. She kind of took him for granted and thinking about oneself goes both ways in a marraige
@@viralbuthow000 Welcome to marriage , lol ! You deal with it and work through it with each other . You don’t go behind your spouses back and cheat . Period .
@@viralbuthow000 I get that, but he cheated. His wife didn’t. Sometimes one person in the relationship isn’t aware there’s a problem. Sometimes there isn’t. Sometimes people cheat just for the thrill of it even if their marriage or relationship is good.
@@joycenesselhauf1220 Well, as long as yu feel the same when women cheat that's fine
Dan loved every minute he spent with Alex. He only had regrets once she wouldn't let him cast her aside and pretend it didn't happen.
Absolutely! For him, it was just supposed to be a brief sweet escape from reality but unfortunately it never occurred to him that she wouldn’t see it that way that she had other ideas what this little fling was. He only now regrets it cuz of the repercussions that have followed and trickled down to his wife and daughter.
Because you guys never had a selfish moment and only care about others feelings
@@tobe1207Unprotected extra marital sex is narcissistic abuse.
Vs protected cheating.

One is a violation of your trust. The other a violation of your health!

To me it's not different than DV.
Having unprotected sex during the AIDS crisis and possibly giving it to your wife is crazy

The AIDS crisis almost exclusively affected gay men and intravenous drug users. That it was some grave danger to normal people was a myth.
@@tay2944I didn’t get that either 🤡
what exactly are you saying?
The best darn performance from a little child I've ever seen. Her heart is broken and she breaks your heart.
I’m pretty sure it’s the same little girl from Christmas Vacation “Ruby Sue”..
They were real tears
The wife should have excepted his expectant lover and brace the fact that her daughter was going to have a little sibling.

It isn't
It's always the children that pay when adults act so stupid and deceitful. This scene has me in tears and it breaks my heart. This is all to real.
When did he cheat on you? With whom?
@@halclayton3048 with your mom
I know poor Dan..
This scene had you in tears? Please!!
@@johnjohnson3709 Please what? Sad that the child walked in on a verbal fight between his Mom and Dad about an affair. GET IT NOW?
I think his wife is more attractive.
Glenn Close has always been a complete dog. I have no idea how she ever made it in Hollywood. She must have given Harvey Weinstein some good blowies.
That’s usually the case.
Way more attractive! I was thinking that the whole movie!
@@SunlightGwyn If they didn't choose an actress like Glenn Close, who is completely hideous, then you would hate her less.
La actriz que interpreta a Alex no estaba convencida de hacer este papel por eso mismo, no se sentía lo suficientemente irresistible. Pero de eso se trataba, puramente atracción para él, muy lejano al amor.
The little one crying should have won an Oscar just for that moment. 💜
The little girl I this movie is the same little girl in the lampoons Christmas vacation.
She was great I teared up myself watching her.
the innocent victim...
@@micheleM-wn8qf do what?
@@sallyjoan The "innocent victim" being the child who had to witness her parents fighting and how upsetting it was for her.
Anne Archer absolutely killed this scene. She played it so well by exhibiting layers to her pain and emotion. I always think of this scene as a great example for young actors to study. Subtle, emotion filled and powerful.
Total agree! 💪💪
agree!
You’re so right.
She did; it was very moving.
Shes amazing..and beautiful 💯💓👌
Ann Archer did an incredible job of capturing the complete heartbreak a cheating spouse can cause.
And it wasn’t one night it was a whole ass weekend of dirty shit they did together, so he’s still not even being honest.
True!!
Totally agree.
Men are such bloody fools at times.
A narcissist like Dan will never change
Wow ! Great observation !! I never thought of that ! He did spend more one night like he said with Alex ! A freakin liar is what he is even in “honesty “!
@@Nickywhispersasmr my Master’s is in film and we were screening this, first time I saw it, and I remember thinking,…. Are you kidding!?!?! I heard That correctly.
The way Anne Archer stares at him for a bit, waiting for him to say it's all a joke, then she realises it isn't, and the heartbreak sets in. Amazing acting.
The wife reacted too violently
@monichat
HUH?! 😂🤣 He got off WAAAYYYY too easy! Any other wife w/ a little bit more self-respect would've come at him w/ a knife, ESPECIALLY once he tries to put his hands on her. Call that "violent"? 😂🤣 Joke!
@@Essenceofblood5238 Every husband cheats, get real. Women should take lovers too. That is my opinion, freedom of speech. I don't like violence.
@@monichat No, every husband doesn't cheat. And plenty of women take lovers. What world are you living in? Lol. Freedom of speech doesn't make you immune from being told you're WRONG about something. I don't like exaggerations or inaccuracies passed off as "truth". This is not violence. Get real.
@monichat , It is extremely hard to say. Everyone reacts differently to shocking news. Regarding Beth, it was probably a lot to comprehend. For her, it was bad enough that Dan had an affair but that Alex was pregnant added insult to injury.
Omg that baby’s reaction broke my heart 💔
You have to ask yourself, was it really worth it? The act literally DESTROYS families; breaks them apart and no one is ever the same again. Children will carry the burden and the scars for the rest of their lives! Every act has a consequence and the consequences of infidelity are HUGE.
Yes, have lived it.
@@lindawise5546 Me too.
Adultery has led to murder so many times! If one cant control themselves, get a divorce first!!
Lol my dad cheated on my mom, I’m fine, it wasn’t my relationship, and I grew up. People dwell on shit too much. Move on.
Facts in Old Testament times ppl were stoned to death for adultery.
Cheating is an act of selfishness that can have devastating consequences on the person being cheated on. It can lead to feelings of self-doubt and worthlessness and can even break their spirit. If you are considering cheating, please reconsider. It is better to end a relationship than to hurt someone in this way.
You're so right and what you said to do is what I actually did. After marriage counseling failed and I couldn't take living with someone who behaved like my enemy I left before I sought out another partner. That's the way it should be.
Feed me more?
People shouldn't divorce they should work on their marriage.
@@saynotohookups You're right a lot of the time. But there are situations when marriage counseling and honest effort are not enough if one of the individuals is mentally ill , abusive a cheat or has gambling, spending or substance addictions.
@@elliedaniels2245 That is true. There are difficult situations even after counseling where you have to make a tough call when nothing else is working.
Fun fact: the moment when Beth takes over the phone and says her line, audience in movie theater back in 1987 went wild with applause.
That is true, I was there.
@@guslakisMe Too! The book was harder and rougher. Ann Archer was such an amazing Actress, I wonder if folks confused her with Mary Steenbergen.
@laminage Archer is much more prettier
Why?! The husband slept with her and got her pregnant! She knew nothing about his family
The overwhelming reaction was hatred of Alex, and pity for Dan. 80s standards were not on Alex's side. She should have known her place and evaporated after a fun time, and Dan's family would never have been the wiser and nothing suggests this lying cheat hadn't done this many times.
The way the daughter pet her stuffed animal broke my heart 😢

@@purplelove3666it's a girl
@@purplelove3666 Nah it's a daughter. Son's don't get named Ellen
This is where Alex crossed the line by upsetting the little girl. But then thats what Alex wanted becaus she hated that little girl.
@erinunderwood3103 During the making of this scene, Michael Douglas bullied the child actress into tears by threatening to take away the unicorn to get a real reaction out of her for the scene and when the scene was finished, he immediately told her that he was sorry and that he was only kidding and gave her a hug. He said in an interview that he felt guilty about it.
If the affair didn’t mean anything, then the Marriage didn’t either. He risk the Marriage for the affair.
Explain the logic in that, what does one statement have to do with the other? It's like saying if that third glass of wine didn't mean anything, then neither did someone's life when they wrecked their car and were killed. It's a complete non sequitor. Sometimes mistakes have completely disproportionate consequences.
@@frankdayton731 I guess you aren’t bright enough to understand, try studying some .
This happens ALL the time, cheating spouses are disgusting.
@@frankdayton731He made a calculated decision.
He's not a horny kid, he's a late 30s lawyer.
He knows where babies come from.
He knows he can't compell a woman to abort a child.
And it *seems*he understood that an affair+baby would endanger his marriage, Beth's happiness, and Elle's well-being.
Oh, and your analogy is spot on.
If you drink a third glass of wine knowing it might put you in the impaired zone you've decided that your pleasure is more important than other people's lives.
@@SanFranDentist94301 "He made a calculated decision".
And sometimes people make wrong calculations. Hence the term, mistake.
The point I was objecting to was whether the mistake had to mean as much as the consequences. And it clearly doesn't. You can make absentminded or spur of the moment decisions without taking full consideration of *ALL* the possible outcomes. Now Glenn Close's character turning into a homicidal maniac wasn't the *only* outcome of Dan sleeping with her. It was just one of them. She never said : "Dan I'm an undiagnosed psychopath with obsessive tendencies and can't take no for an answer, but I promise that the sex will be phenomenal".
I'm sure he would've made a different choice had he known before hand this was how she'd be inclined to react. Now if he knew this for a fact, and *still* made the decision to screw her, then you'd be justified in saying that the sex meant as much to him as the fallout.
36 years later and I still love this movie.
now movies have ultra perfect 'characters' not real ppl. Or they have to go surreal to explore the same kind of emotion in a movie like this.
It's 6:25am and that little child's acting has me in tears! I hated when my parents fought....

Me too. Everyday they fought and it was like walking on egg shells.
Damn I get what you mean.

When she strokes her teddy because she’s so scared. That’s how I felt when my parents argued but I was 3 years old and instead of a teddy it was my pet cat. I just remember hugging him wishing the screaming would stop. So this shouting scene always gets to me 💔

The BEST part.
When this movie came out it was a warning to married people
I think it’s ridiculous instead. HE’s the one who messed up everything in the first place. Blaming and threatening the other woman is not fair, just deal with your husband and ask him what he had in mind when HE decided to cheat on you.
The look on her face when he admits that yes he cheated is heartbreaking. Actress did a great job. That confusion and pain. Like "Why?" Even if Alex wasn't crazy, more than enough damage was done to that family just by this.

Yeah I loved that. Her saying he doesn’t have the balls to fess up to his wife and low and behold he hands her the phone lol
She couldn't hold it over his head anymore. So instead she goes full on psycho on everyone...
Peep how when Beth hopped on the phone, Alex got real quiet. That brief conversation between the two women symbolized dominance: Beth was the wife who wasn’t going anywhere and called the shots, whereas Alex was just a weekend fling.
When they say ‘it was one night it didn’t mean anything’ what they’re really saying is that you and my child don’t mean anything. Otherwise they’d never think of it to hurt them. Narcissists always use manipulative language to make empaths feel sorry for them.
Who hurt you?

@@karenwellington8569 I swear so many people misuse the term "narcissist". A Narcissist is someone who has an inflated sense of pride and expects constant praise and success at the expense of others.

I saw the movie a long time ago, cannot remember if the crazy woman really was pregnant. Could you please inform me. Thank you

Smokey Robinson`s Wife Claudette went through the same thing. From 1959-1984 she put up with his countless affairs including one with Diana Ross before The Supremes hit the big time. He also had an affair with a young lady named Meta who danced on Soul Train in the 1970`s but his longest one was an off again on again affair from 1967-1984 with a former Playboy Bunny named Kandi who got pregnant for him. She took him to the cleaners in their divorce settlement and from what I hear still gets paid whenever any songs he wrote or co wrote gets played in any form shape or way.
Oh well, Celebrities are the ones who pay the most money for child support because they have an abundance of funds to do so.
@@florencemiller7826 Yep. Smokey's Music is still very popular. Now "Who's Loving You" is now the most popular audition song on The X Factor in The UK. However they say it's a Michael Jackson Song.
Lots of wives of that era have put up with this. Their husband taking them for granted and having fun while she’s at home making the food and taking care of kids. Countless.
She they applaud him making her a single mother because of his dumb actions? Regardless he had and affair he needs to take responsibility point blank period, there’s nothing to applaud about this sick shit
@@Jocelyn_Jade They must have been eaten alive with rage.
If someone ever says to you "it (or she/he) didn't mean anything", ask "so you put all we have at risk for something that meant nothing?". That line a cheater uses tells you the person they cheated with, as well as you, mean nothing. Cheating would make more sense if they cared about the other person they were with, if they loved you and just crossed paths with this other person and they had a connection and he/she felt torn between two people they loved...that to me would be less insulting.
It's not a lie though. "It" does mean nothing, the sex, the marriage, integrity, morals... All means nothing

No he’s not so sorry. He’s a dirtbag just like anyone that cheats. They know darn well what they are doing and they are extremely needy, empty individuals with no heart. My father cheated on my Mom like he did. And the other woman knew he was a married man with two children. They both were home wreckers. And they surely will be punished severely for their actions.

Yea, instead of taking full accountability say " it didn't mean anything" demean the woman you desired and devastate your wife...what a " man"...THIS ISN'T COMPLICATED. If a person acts on their desires once it's occured no matter how many times do not try to pass it off as it meant nothing. AND stop demeaning sex, demeaning other people, demeaning your spouse, demeaning the experience...grow as a person from it..heal yourself, be accountable and Be KIND
That's a very black and white response from you. Relationships, the desire for sex, impulses, attractions, different types of attractions ... these are all so much more complicated and nuanced than how you paint it. And he did take responsibility; he told his wife about it; she didn't discover it accidentally. I'm only speaking from the male perspective here, but it's absolutely true that a man can have sex with another woman, and it means nothing more than sex. Sure, a man can fall in love with another woman, as well, but that's not the case here. He had an opportunity for wild sex with a new and different woman other than his wife, and he went for it. The secretiveness/lying is the real issue here, but with how freakish we are when it comes to sex and our true desires, society sort of forces so many of us to go on the down low in these matters.
@@Jim_L Your response is interesting and actually one of the more enjoyable comments I have read on the internet for some time. However I think your response might be a bit of a non-sequitur to the original comment, let me explain what I mean.
While I think you're correct in one sense, insofar as the original comment oversimplifies the 'human sexual condition', I think it does so predicated on a moral standard of behavior expected of one when committing to another in word and deed - marriage, in this example, this is a agreed upon condition of marriage and why it is really more of a religious institution, because it expects a higher standard to be met, despite our thoughts, desires, temptations, etc, as God is the witness - it is declared before him.
What you're saying, while true in the sense that yes, we may desire another or whatever, those carnal desires are to be controlled and we are callled to be more virtuous. Therefore, I think the original comment is more correct in its simplicity of this point while yours ignores this and argues that we ought to just succumb to these desires etc and controlling them is not fair on our natural instincts (or something like that). Not sure how correct I am but I think I know how dissolute most men's minds are, or at least can be.
@@Jim_L -I haven't seen this movie for many years. If memory serves me, he only confessed b/c he was going to be ratted out. I agree sex can be just sex for some people but he didn't take blame. It was a narcissistic response to say that it meant nothing. It didn't take ownership imo.
@@geofreyr Thank you for the kind words. I purposely try to be civil in my reply to others' postings. And thank you, as well, for taking the time to share your thoughts on this matter. With that, I can't say that there's really anything you've said that I disagree with. I think you nailed it when you say that marriage is really built on a religious foundation (in full disclosure, I'm a hardcore atheist). I will add this, however: It's funny how married couples can lie about so many things to each other during the course of their marriage, except this one thing -- i.e., infidelity. And to that, again, I say it's because we have these weird hang-ups about sex, largely due to religion. All these other lies will be forgiven, but not cheating. "You told me you would call, and you didn't." "You said you would be home by 8:00 p.m., but you were at the bar with so-and-so and didn't get home until after midnight." "I told you I don't like that old friend of yours, and you promised me that you wouldn't hang out together as much anymore, but once again, you two were at the pub until bartime." And so on and so on. Yet all these lies are so very often forgiven, over and over. But when it comes to a meaningless sexual encounter outside of the marriage, then hold the phone, that's a huge no-no. But why? Why are all the other lies given a pass (over and over), but when it comes to cheating and all those lies to cover it up, then this lie is a deal breaker. Again, we have real issues with sex and the discussion of deep-down sexual desires with our spouse, and thus, so so many of us choose the easy route of sneaking around and keeping it on the down low.
@@Jim_L Be told her when it became impossible to lie
I relate to that kid so much. I see myself in that kid comforting that toy and burying her head, comforting herself. At an age when you don't even know these things, you still can sense that something is broken permanently. And we kids blame ourselves for that. We try to be as nice and conforming possible so the hurting parent would not find us difficult, or we rebel because everything that was supposed to be secure is gone. Screw cheaters. Screw you from the bottom of my heart.
And we kids blame ourselves for that. - No, you blamed yourself for that. Others didn't 🤷♀️

Screw you! You don't know what other kids did or didn't do! Plenty of kids internalize this and enter the world as excessively broken people. You can accept that or not. Doesn't make it any less true. 🤷♂️

Doesn’t matter if you a woman or a man. Cheating is the ultimate form of disrespect. Its a choice and you chose somebody else over your partner.
@@tomja1090 cheating is the ultimate form of betrayal but when you create a life with another person who is not your wife or husband that to me is like setting me on fire while alive.
@@cortezconquistador Fair point.
Thing is you won't get back all the time you wasted with that person.
He’s paying all the bills and she’s not quenching his thirst in the bedroom it’s her fault
The look on her face when she asked did he have an affair heartbreaking
Lays the burden of his indiscretions on his wife… disgusting
I dont get it. He had sex. Whats the big deal? Plenty of people have open marriages. Men don't get emotional and women dont seem to get that.
The actress who played Beth and the one that played the little kid were really underrated. Such a great cast.
The only thing a cheating partner does is stop you from being with someone that truly loves you
Agreed. There are many faithful people in the world. Life is too short to stay with someone who cheated on you.
@@KlausPetrov444 she's much better looking than his ugly old wife so you can't really blame him. He should have dumped the wife and moved in with her.
Oh that little girl.... looking at her parents...first time life broke her heart... 90% of the time we parents do it. We break our children's heart... I was at her age looking at my parents argue like this...this scene took me back 60 years and my heart still hurts.
❤
When I first saw this movie at the theater, I didn’t know if the child was a boy or girl. Sometimes it sounded like her mom was calling her “Allen” and not “Ellen.” 😬
Yeah I don’t know why they made the girl look like a boy.
What they had done to that little girl's hair was criminal
Yes, a little girl with short hair, what a crime. She obviously wanted it that way. She still had short hair a couple years later when she was in Christmas Vacation. They made her wear a wig.
Flaw in script…she asks. “Did you have an affair with her?”. He answers yes…
Then he says it was only one night…
An affair is not one night..
He was telling the truth when he said “Yes’ then tried to downplay it saying it was only one night…
Liar liar pants on fire.
The part when the Son told the Father, Call me tomorrow made me EMOTIONAL 😢
Daughter
It's actually a Daughter.
She was their little girl.
I thought it was a boy too when I first saw this
@@EphemeralProductions Who gives an F. Hair is just hair. Only "certain" people only comment on these trivial things. Having short hair doesn't make a female less feminine. Anyway...it's a CHILD...not yet corrupted by people's narrow and stupid comments about a GD haircut. Just WTF
For the ppl who think kids cant feel negative energy from their parent, this scene rings true to it.
"Beth. I am so sorry (I got caught)."
The wife was better looking than the mistress.
they usually are!
I first remember Anne Archer in a Hawaii Five O episode when I was a teen boy in the early 70s
Men usually cheat down
It's just about a change. Look around - a lot of men with extremely beautiful wives have cheated. At some point when two people have spent 5-10 yrs - the novelty is lost, boredom sets in, and disagreements quickly escalate. That's when any change is very welcome. Marriages have a very unrealistic ask.
@user_1abc you're gross for thinking that. Be single pls. 🤘🪬
That scene where their child sees them fighting feels so relatable. Sadly.
What was she doing up? She was supposed to be in bed. She would never have seen that if she'd been in bed like she was supposed to be.
Poor little girl,her crying breaks my heart
such a heartbreaking scene. Her acting was off the charts.
she should have walked out on him when he confesses to her about his one night stand. there is no place for cheating in a marriage. period.
Just for the record, Ann Archer nailed that scene!! I personally think it was an Oscar worthy performance. 👏👏🎭🎥
The little girl was just as good
@@lizadivine3785 I never said she wasn’t. I was talking about Ann. Do I have to mention every actor in the movie?
@@marydallas1 I posted an opinion did I ask you to mention every actor? Why no I didn’t… you really should chill out.
@@lizadivine3785 All the actors were great. I posted my opinion. I didn’t ask you for yours. I’m glad you think the little girl was great. I simply wanted to express how amazing Ann was. You’re the one that needs to chill out. It’s like if I say the sky is really blue today, you would say, what about the clouds? They look really white! Just let a compliment be a compliment.
@marydallas1 and just let an opinion be an opinion. This site allows others to post. You are the one with the problem not me
This is the ultimate “Things are gonna get worse before they get better” scene. They just didn’t know much worse.
This scene is for all those manosphere dinks who want the wife at home but still want side chicks thinking it's no big deal. You don't hurt people you love especially children.
Manosphere would be more likely to concentrate on issues like men falsely accused by women, fathers cut off from their own children by a vindictive ex, victims of paternity fraud, higher rates of male homelessness and suicide and other issues which disproportionately affect the male gender. Nowhere does it condone adultery. In the scene above Beth Gallagher is the injured party and most worthy of sympathy. It was one man and one woman who caused her that misery.
Those men are highly narcissistic and have no empathy for who they are hurting.
I dont get it. He had sex. Whats the big deal? Plenty of people have open marriages. Men don't get emotional and women dont seem to get that.
The last thing I want to do is to hurt you, but it's still on my list.
Lol
😅😅
Or the line "it didn't mean anything", so you're telling me you gutted me, destroyed the love, trust and family for something that meant nothing?!? Go F yourself. Wonder what would you have done if it meant something to you?!? And the "I love you", keep it, I don't want you're kind of "love".
He'd have continued to see Alex if he could get away with it, and possibly, secretly, supported her and their lovechild.
If she had been more mellow.
Thats what Alex originally wanted but dan changed his phone number.
The little girl made that scene she owned it
have a laugh.
This marriage would never survive long-term. Glenn Close is off the charts excellent in this role and also Dangerous Liaisons and Evening. Glenn has the knack to embody the character and their feelings, struggles and responses to others.
Nobody in the star system even approaches her greatness. Mega Galactic Talent.
The fact that Glenn Close has been nominated eight (8) times for an Oscar and never won is sensational. She is the Bette Davis of today. She made my dad cry in "Dangerous Liaisons." And he was a very quiet, hard- nosed WWII Sergeant who fought in seven campaigns.
Glenn Close..one of my favorite actresses..this is my favorite movie..she is also superb in Damages.
@@brendakeenan9416Agreed. Have you ever seen her in the Hallmark Hall of Fame Sarah Plain and Tall series? It was from the 90s. She's so charming and endearing in that role. The exact opposite of Fatal Attraction.
@@josebro352 yes she is very diverse in her roles
I loved Ann Archer’s performance in this. She genuinely seemed hurt and pissed off at him. Fabulous acting.
And Beth carried out her threat when push came to shove!!!!
BEING OBSSESED WITH SOMEONE IS NOT THE JOKE OF HIS'S OR HER'S LIFE ANYMORE. FATAL ATRACTION IS THE MOVIE FOR REMEMBERING
If he was truly remorseful from the beginning, he would have told her the whole story instead of minimizing it. He only became remorseful when he realized it was going to catch up to him.
I can't understand why every time a man cheats the wife asks him are you in love with her?? like you are still expecting an honest answer now??
The acting by everyone in this scene is spot on. Dan deserved to be thrown out of the house. It wasn't just one night lol
The little girl is Ruby Sue in Christmas Vacation. At least her eyes aren't crossed anymore 😅
I had no idea, cool fact
Lol thats where I've seen her! Thanks
Never tell the woman you just cheated on that it meant nothing.
I learned to not blame the other woman. The man is playing both the women. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
He went for hamburger when he had steak at home
It’s fairly common for men to prefer hamburgers than steak🤷🏽♂️
What's so great about Anne Archer. She's not better looking than Glenn Close
Okay Christopher. 😂
@@catherinecatlover she is not a little better looking than Glenn Close she is much better looking than Glenn Close
Just like King Charles with Camilla
The most realistic part about this clip is how the kid wrapped the fruit rollup around his finger. You know we all did that. Period.
It's a girl.
The little girl getting upset, gets me every time 😢
Anne Archer gave an acting class in this scene. Her face goes from shock to disbelief to pain and rage. Watch when she lifts her head after he says "yes" when she asks about the affair. It looks like she ages 10 years in that moment. Great scene!
It didn’t mean anything? Then why do it? .. oh wait, there could’ve been a chance for it to mean something, but it ended up it didn’t. Full on BS, there is no excuse for cheating.. absolutely none!
Bless that little girl’s heart 😢
This scene perfectly captures the pain and the drama. You have got to give it to the actors for giving a performance that really makes you feel like you are in it.
The scene with the baby girl speaking to her dad on the phone is so moving ❤
This scene was so powerful.
Beth Gallagher wasn't kidding.
@jeromerizzo423 That goes to show you how much of a great wife Beth is. Although what Dan did to her was completely assholeish (I do believe he would never make that same mistake again), she forgave him and would totally kill Alex if she came near him again.
@@ryancannon4110 of course she's a great wife. She was always supportive and faithful to him. Forgiving him didn't prove anything on her part.
I don’t even think that Alex was really pregnant in the story. I think she only said to try to pin Dan down into staying with her even though he already had another family at home.
I was thinking that too. But then there’s a scene where he called Alex’s doctor & it was true.
Anne Archer, a beautiful woman and wife in this case, how someone could have an affair and ruin a great relationship is heartbreaking and the kids suffer as well!
Men do it all the time; heat on their beautiful wives with whoever they can. They rather fuel a new spark than keep their current one lit. Just disappointing. If things became stagnant with my wife, I’d brainstorm, try new things with her. I’d have no desire to be with someone new.
Anne Archer's face @ :05 is devastating. She is a fine actress. Goes all the way back to Night Gallery.
