Desertman84 Former All My Children mainstay Susan Lucci and David Charvet star in this TV movie "Seduced And Betrayed".Mary Ellen Trainor and Gabrielle Carteris co-star in this screenplay written by Cameron Kent about a rich and older widow Victoria Landers who draws a young married man and contractor Dan Hiller for the restoration of her house in Phoenix,Arizona into a web of seduction,passion and betrayal.Well,after I have been into watching Lethal Seduction and Bad Sister and I got into this which has a similar storyline with the two those two movies mentioned about an older woman seducing a younger woman into an illicit affair.But unlike the them,it does not involve High School students but rather a married man getting involved into adultery.And just like them,things start to go awry and harmful when the older woman starts to behave psychotically and turn to her manipulative and violent tendencies when the man started to go out of relationship for she would not take "no" for an answer.The viewer would say,I have been there many times and Fatal Attraction as well as classic 60's movie The Graduate come to mind.But despite of these reasons and the movie being two decades old,it was nice to see Susan Lucci in another role other than Erica Kane.Being a talented actress as evidenced by he 19 Emmy Award nominations,she played a great evil and manipulative seductress in Victoria.She never overplayed the role as she used her natural beauty and charms.As the violent woman,she was definitely convincing. Watch this TV movie directed by Félix Enríquez Alcalá for her alone.

boiler74 For sheer camp, this TV movie is worth the while. If nothing else, it gives hope (however false) to the over-40 crowd that some young thing is available, even if he/she is 25 years younger.Certainly Susan Lucci is not an actress worthy of an Oscar nod. On the other hand, she has been around a lot longer than many actresses, and she still commands an audience. David Charvet is much too good-looking in his role to have wanted/needed a fling with Lucci. But this is the sort of movie that begs you not to ask any questions...just go along for the absurdly amusing ride.I knew I had seen Charvet somewhere, and it turned out he was a former "Baywatch Boy" from the 90s. Even if you don't care for Susan Lucci, this is still worth it for the over-the-top madness of it all.I still catch it when it's rerun, and age makes it even more surreal and likable.

benzachg I enjoyed the movie because my son Zach was the little boy in the movie. It was the only movie he ever appeared in. (He was actually cast in another movie, but his scene was cut.) He just graduated high school and will begin college in the fall. It is really nice that people talk about his one movie. By the way, on the set Susan Lucci, Gabrielle Carteris and David Charvet were all really nice to Zach and he enjoyed the experience. The movie was filmed in Phoenix, Arizona. Susan's husband Helmut was frequently on the set. In one scene where Zach was in the hospital, he is supposed to be sick. He wasn't acting. On that day, he really was sick. The film is sort of unbelievable, but it was great escapism.

diplomat-1 I wondered if anyone else that saw this movie noticed the framed picture in the standing closet when Charvet's character accidentally bumped into it when the electric was out. I'm about 95% sure that was Susan Lucci's real life husband, Helmut Huber, and in reading the crews names, I noticed he co-produced this movie. Anyone else notice it? Apparently the framed picture was "Charlotte's" husband in the movie.I like both Susan Lucci and David Charvet as actors. I can see how the affair could actually happen in those circumstances, especially since Susan's character did several things to catch David off guard. But some of the movie was just too unrealistic, like the scene where Lucci shows up to dismiss the babysitter. The unrealism is why I voted the movie a 6.
