Plot

Victoria Robeson (Lucci) and her husband Michael (Matheson) are an apparently happily married couple. However Victoria becomes involved in an adulterous affair with Evan Ganns (Dudikoff) who later kills her friend Jane Woodman. Victoria is falsely accused of the murder and is forced to reveal details of her affair to prove her innocence.

Reception

The film received negative reviews. According to Joanna Berry in the Radio Times (on line), "More time seems to have been spent on Lucci's wardrobe and hairdo than on the plot"[2] and Hal Erickson at AllMovie wrote that the film was a "melodramatic farrago" for which "the publicity people did their best to suggest that The Woman Who Sinned was reminiscent of Fatal Attraction, simply because both films involved a clandestine love affair and a psycho killer".[3]

gollark: I'm not saying that they shouldn't care, to clarify, but that people don't, telling them their preferences are wrong is not really a winning strategy, and the lack of concern of most richer countries for poorer ones reflects most people's demonstrated attitudes.
gollark: Yes, exactly.
gollark: (also, global prosperity is generally going up, illiteracy & extreme poverty going down, etc.)
gollark: Anyway, I find those "various people die of easily preventable deaths → capitalism bad" things unreasonable. I suspect most people don't actually *care* about random people somewhere dying, given the fact that you can quite easily donate to very effective charities for e.g. helping fix malaria under the existing system, and yet nobody does this.
gollark: There are MANY messages here. Yay for having vast amounts of free time now so I can read them all?
