Plot

[edit]

Thomas and Amanda Murray, a British couple, move to Paris where Thomas gets a job working at a bank owned by Amanda's father, Arthur. Amanda does not like Paris, and returns home to London. On a country drive, Thomas meets up with a French woman named Katherine and begins an affair with her. When Amanda discovers the affair, she attempts suicide. Arthur begs Thomas to drop Katherine, reconcile with Amanda and fly off with her to Hong Kong, where another job awaits him.

Critical reception

[edit]

The film received negative reviews.[2][1] Variety described it as "an embarrassingly klutzy romantic drama" but said "Bonnaire brings light and flavor to her role and scenes, and handles her dialogue as best as possible, but she's basically paddling upstream".[3]
