I was confused in the beginning.


The two women Ed Harris was involved with looked alike, so in the beginning I thought they were the same person. Anybody else think they should not have cast two people so similar looking in those roles?

Completely agree with you. Even after all these years, these two women are too similar!

Yep, I just watched this a few days ago and was thinking the same thing. Fortunately I know who Lindsay Crouse and Amy Madigan are, but Amy Madigan has really gotten rough looking in the last 30 years and was almost unrecognizable to me now.

Correct me if I am wrong - I believe one had blonde hair and his wife had dark hair? (Or the other way around?)

But I agree. They did look similar. I had trouble picking up that Ed Harris’s character was in an affair
