The violently possessive and jealous man and the abused but dependent woman are a fact of life and have been explored before. In fact, it seems only yesterday that Roy Miller, who plays the possessive man here, was playing the same role in the Israeli TV series Malkot. This time it's a true story, and it includes a murder that was a big deal at the time, so there's a certain audience that can be counted on to watch. The woman in the affair was a model and TV star, the script makes much of her beauty and magnetism, and it would be inaccurate to remark that the actress playing her doesn't project beauty and magnetism, but we're used to those qualities, TV being what it is, and I can't say that by TV standards this movie managed to make the actress playing her look special. Nor do we get much insight into the character's personality. These relationships end badly, and we see the set-up and the unfolding and the conclusion, but the movie doesn't contain any content that gives us a sense of learning.
