A Change of Heart

Lifetime Television - 1998

Elaine Marshall (Smart) has been in a conventional heterosexual marriage for 20 years. Or at least that's what she thought. Come to find out, her straight husband, Dr. Jim Marshall (John Terry), is not all that straight. Her happy marriage with two darling children and two beautiful houses—one in the city, the other in the country—suddenly turns into a major transitional life change when she discovers Jim is having an affair with another man, Phil Summers.


Reviews:

"Jean Smart is quite memorable as a blindly contented mother of two teens who works as the efficient office manager at her medical doctor husband's offices. Her stability and her family's unity comes under a wrenching challenge when she discovers that her husband is having an affair with another man. The fascinating drama delves into how each member of the household must deal with the dramatic change in their lives. Smart is especially good as a Stepford Wife who is smacked with a dose of life-changing reality." -- Wolfevideo.com
