"The Affair" is set during World War II in England. Kerry Fox plays Maggie Leyland, an English, married mother who has a young son. Courtney B. Vance plays Travis Holloway, a single African-American soldier who has never found love. Maggie has been betrayed by her husband and needs someone who can truly love her.

Travis is drawn to Maggie because of her beauty and kindness. Maggie and Travis slowly fall in love. Yet, their love is not equal. Travis is totally dedicated to Maggie. She doesn't want to give up her pristine life with her husband and son. This is where the tragedy begins.

The ending of the film was totally depressing. My eyes swelled with tears when I watched the last part of the film. However, I won't spoil the film by revealing its ending. If you are looking for a realistic view of life that examines interracial relations and cross-cultural relations during World War II, you should watch "The Affair."

This movie is without a doubt the most beautiful, sensual, realistic movie I have ever seen about Race Relations in England during WW2 band how natural they portray this inter-ethnic romance between Courtney and Kerry. I'm pretty hard core,but I cry ever time I watch this tragedy.

Wives who cheat on there men, don't lie and holler rape,when you know that you are the rapeist, very Interesting how it all ended.

I saw this movie on HBO well over 20 years ago. I've learned if I was ever interested in seeing a movie again, just shop Amazon. I was amazed at all the movies I only saw once that I could add to my personal collection.

The relationship of a lonely and married Caucasian woman and a black soldier. The setting is in England and the soldier is executed because his lover is forced by her husband to allege that she was raped by the soldier, instead of admitting their affair was consentual. When the woman tries to break clean, after discovering her husband had lied to her about her lover's punishment, it was too late.

A very powerful movie involving an interracial relationship in the 1940's.

A wonderful movie, I would recommend it highly, well written, well played, tragic and human, thanks for the opportunity to review it....D. Chinitz
