I think this is Dustin Hoffman's very best performance ever. I was hooked from beginning to end and just bought this on a lark because I like Timothy Dalton. However he's not in it much and isn't a sympathetic character as the philandering husband. Dustin and Vanessa are the ones to watch here.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it to come out on DVD though, since they seem to be in no rush to put out the more obscure titles older than 1980.
On the good side I can report that the tape that I have has no copyright protection on it so anyone can transfer it to DVD-R for their own library if they have a dual VHS-DVD recorder. It's also a very sharp print so not disappointing at all quality wise, unlike some older VHS movies.
