Caught this one on the television here this afternoon under the title "La Frontière de L'Infidelité". Never had I seen such a load of brash and ugly women grouped together in one film. The only good-looker was a guy and he came over as weak willed and lacking in character, running off with some dumb secretary who looked as if butter would not melt in her mouth. Basically the film is a collection of the dregs of humanity hypocritically going to church and then having affairs right left and centre. I wonder what spectator could be interested in this. Doesn't show texan women in a very good light. The man's wife was ugly, and his lover looked a drip. But there's no accounting for tastes, be they texan or other. I just wonder what interest the director was hoping to arouse with this, or is it just a portrayal of daily life in Texas. There are also numerous other characters and I didn't quite follow the relevance they had to the Harris' infidelity case. Anyway, there is NO excuse for infidelity and this nincompoop husband got his just desserts. Satisfying though that may be to see, it does NOT compensate for a generally boring film with too many neurotic women and too much uninteresting chit-chat.
