Lonelyhearts
“SOME WIVES CHEAT BECAUSE THEIR HUSBANDS DO... AND SOME BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST NO GOOD!”
Burdened by a family secret, Adam White lands a job as a newspaper advice columnist. Little does he realize that it's all part of a nasty desire by cynical editor William Shrike to crush the souls of his underlings. Adam feels his readers' pain, and eventually, he takes an assignment to meet with Faye Doyle, who is exasperated by her crippled husband. When Faye tries to seduce Adam, he must choose between his job and his girl.
