Martin Sheen is the man - a sensitive, intelligent family man who, in one brief and innocent affair long past, fathered a child whose sudden appearance threatens his happy life. Blythe Danner is the woman - a strong loving wife and mother whose deep love and commitment are stretched to the breaking point by the unexpected arrival of her husband's illegitimate son. Crafted in the tender tradition of "Love Story," Erich Segal's Man, Woman and Child is an evocative, emotionally-charged movie about a typical American family whose deep love is shaken, tested and ultimately reaffirmed in this mature and fascinating study of adjustments.
