High Wire Love: High End Life
Yes, I enjoyed this movie. I watch with captions so I avoided some of the irritating comedic voices that other reviewers complained about, likewise concerning the music. I thought the blonde starter wife was absolutely gorgeous and of course, we all know how beautiful Kim Catrell is. Others have mentioned how Jeff Fahey is underrated and I must agree. I would rather watch him than some of the top male stars of today. I know the story is based on truth so no defense is necessary but I don't understand why he is considered a con man. Aren't they usually love bandits who enrich themselves through their bigamy? He not only did not do this, he strapped himself into serious financial trouble trying to support two households including two step children even. I still don't understand how he did it and where his money came from. I really liked the movie, the actors and the scenery.

What An Evil Story Based on the Truth
This movie began as a rather dark comedy, but eventually changed to a dark and tragic account of the real life story of David Russell Miller and his two wives. There's a narrator to the story, but the viewer doesn't discover the identity of the narrator until the end of the film. It's hard to imagine that people can be taken in by such con/narcisstic individuals. From what I've read online about David Russell Miller, the story seemed to highlight and follow the most important parts of this tragic story very well. His wives names were changed. I think Kim Cattrall gave the best performance in the film. I'm sure any true crime book written about this evil man would be a good read, but the movie isn't a bad way to learn about this total creep!!! I'm surprised that he didn't get the death penalty in Florida.

A shiny nugget of a film. Jeff Fahey keeps Kim Cattrall and the rest of us wondering what the heck is going on. Dramatic ending.
I like this movie though I though it had wacky music and narration. This movie is suppose to be based on a real series of events.This movie is about a put simply narcissistic sociopath that unfortunately has looks, charisma, so many lies he could write a handbook on the subject. His name is Mitch and as a consultant and marries a woman named Candice. But he is on the go. She believes every thing he says. He works for the CIA. He has to move his family because of CIA complications. Soon he meets the woman interested in marriage and starting a family named Liz Wells ( Kim Cattrell ). He winds up marrying her rather quickly. Well, from that point lies and bills start building up. Liz's father start checking up, Candice starts checking up. A Sociopath generally is concerned only for themselves. They generally feed off others. This is an interesting movie for a made for TV movie. I think Kim Cattrall really shines playing an everyday person, yet very intelligent.

Rule No. 1: If you can't get a straight answer out of him, run for the hills!
This movie should be a must watch for every female on the planet. Rule No. 2: LISTEN to the stories guys like this tell you, but don't believe anything until you have proof. Rule No. 3: Watch out for using sex to distract from their B.S. stories. At the very beginning of his lies, it wouldn't have taken much to verify whether this guy had inheritance tied up in litigation, or whether his parents were alive or dead. I'm living next to one of these creeps, and there seems to be a never ending supply of gullible men and women to cajole into doing his bidding. Been watching the parade for 21+ yrs now. If you really want to learn what these creeps are like, read "The Devil's Righthand Man." True story about a serial killer whose brother was a cop and kept getting him off the hook. Cop brother should have gone to prison right along with the killer.

A bit of a disappointment
The movie itself is in great shape so no problems there. I was just not all that impressed with the movie itself. Jeff Fahey looks a lot older here and not up to a standard of acting that I have seen him in previous movies (Wrangler and Lawnmower Man) I guess this movie just seemed a bit unreal to me. I know that truth is stranger than stories most times but there was just something missing in this flick. I can't put my finger on it...maybe the script and the acting. I will give this to my daughter in law who is much younger and maybe she will like this movie! It just didn't hold a lot of suspense for me or edge of the seat nail biting drama. I think it needed a bit more "grit"! The young girl playing the step daughter did the best acting of them all! I am maybe a hopeless romantic and want things to turn out good or if they are bad...make them REALLY bad!

Funny
This is a very cute movie and I have always liked Jeff Fahey since he was on One Life to Live.... The trouble with Hollywood movies saying it is Florida is they always forget Florida is flat as a pancake.. I have been to Floridas high point and it is on Marco Island and is a pile of dirt LOL There are just way to many high points which sort of spoils it for me.

Narcissist?
It was a good movie, and maybe it was different in 1996 or I just wasn't paying attention, but I honestly can't tell the difference between a narcissist and the average person these days.

Interesting movie.
I enjoyed watching the fast moving plot of a man being a compulsive liar, bigamist and womanizer ...it was even funny in scenes, yet it is sad movie in that someone is so mentally ill and able to ruin so many others' lives like he did. Jeff Fahey's hair bothered me as it was dyed so dark black that it didn't look real. He looked like a 55 year old guy trying to look 35.
