...process, the viewer should benefit. To be sure, cable TV may never win mass audiences for many programs. Its leaders have no intention of even trying to do so. That would mean duplicating network fare-and who would pay to watch something akin to the shows he now sees free? The networks are unrivaled at concocting programs that appeal to tens of millions, but in the process they have ignored the specialized interests that every member of the TV audience also possesses. Cable TV, in contrast, offers for profit the potential choice of programs to suit every taste...

Even so, Wifemistress is thoroughly likable. The exterior photography is magnificent. The sex scenes are both tasteful and warmly sensual, as is not always the case with flicks whose directors feel obliged to show a little skin. A note here about skin: as a woman viewer of both these films justly and aggrievedly noted, "They always show more of her than they do of him." The double stan dard marches...
