Love’s Tragedies (1998)

Experts interviewed include sex therapist Bettina Arndt and biologist Roger Short. Wives, husbands and children are interviewed about the impact of infidelity on their lives.

The situations depicted in the film are varied. Overall the documentary offers interesting observations of human behaviour but doesn’t draw too many conclusions.
