I'd give this film 7* - 2 for drama, but 5 for the fascination of watching Beau Bridges' character.I may have caught it at a bad time, since I did get so engrossed in watching Beau scurrying about and having to maintain so many stories, checkbooks - and wives - that I couldn't dredge up as much sympathy as others seem to have had.Not only did he have the problem of eating multiple dinners (I'll bet he carried a giant container of Tagamet or Tums), celebrating multiple holiday festivities, creating multiple excuses and falsehoods - PLUS! for heaven's sake, this man had a job as a physician which caused him to get up in the middle of the night to visit sick patients, to boot!!!I guess it's one thing where some persons engage in seemingly endless "one-night stands," and extremely short-term liaisons.But watching Beau with all the juggling of things the character had to execute, I couldn't help but imagine even Wilt Chamberlain or that lead singer from "Kiss" who has mentioned his prodigious romantic conquests -- together -- couldn't have accomplished what Beau did with these three separate women, all decidedly over the "long-term."Finally, I guess if you really stretch your imagination, you can see where a series of events, travel, schedule, etc., could result in a man impetuously marrying a second woman while still in a complete, family relationship with the first. But -- anybody who would opt for a third is deserving of whatever problems he has to bear juggling everything, as well as the dire consequences which result when everything finally unravels.
