I saw it on DVD and really wanted to see part three, but after 5-10 minutes of next part of the story when she wins election, it repeated the second part. Is this a one time error or did other viewers get the same? Thank you!
Politician's Wife is a great companion piece to House of Cards and 2 parts following that I can't remember starring Ian Richardson.
It is also is so close to the Clinton's errors. The most interesting point in the film for me is when she discusses with Ian Bannen how her husband is able to believe everything he says whenever he says it and then forgets it. I'm hoping the DVD I saw is a one-time error and I can see more of the story, especially about their son and how he grows up to be like his mother.
