Name: The Man with Three Wives
Genre: Drama
Released: 1993-03-28
Duration: 1 h 35 min
Rating: 5.9
Cast: Beau Bridges, Pam Dawber, Joanna Kerns

This is an interesting TV movie that I saw, naturally, on Lifetime. What's most interesting about it is that it is based on a true story. What's even more interesting to me is that there are probably a lot of stories out there similar to this one.

The subject is big-time bigamy by a doctor who apparently loves all three women he's married to. Like most who deceive, he expends a lot of time and energy moving from place to place, covering up, and not getting caught. It's a tough job, and he's got to do it.

The cast is a very good one - Beau Bridges, Pam Dawber, Joanna Kerns, Kathleen Lloyd. Dawber is the smart one who figures out there might be a problem. There sure is. Bridges is successful as a caring doctor who loves a bit too much.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
