...with a wife (the lovely Anne Archer), a child and a career to lose if his two-night stand is discovered. That the two principals are ostensibly mature professionals, not adolescent airheads, gives the film some of its fatal attractiveness.

It was the ninth straight presidential win for the Fundamentalist faction, which has used the office to build power on the boards of S.B.C. schools and agencies...
