Synopsis: Based on a short story by Bernhard Schlink, The Other Man is a love story about a man (Liam Neeson) who discovers that his wife (Laura Linney) has been involved with another man (Antonio Banderas).... Based on a short story by Bernhard Schlink, The Other Man is a love story about a man (Liam Neeson) who discovers that his wife (Laura Linney) has been involved with another man (Antonio Banderas). The husband sets out to find the other man, and forms an unusual friendship with him; through a series of informal meetings and emails, the husband uncovers the truth about his wife's affair, and in a stunning denouement, reveals the truth about his wife to her unsuspecting lover.

The Other Man, based on a short story by Bernhard Schlink (THE READER), was written and directed by Richard Eyre (NOTES ON A SCANDAL, IRIS) along with co-writer Charles Wood (IRIS). The producers on the film include Frank Doelger (JOHN ADAMS, MY HOUSE IN UMBRIA, THE GATHERING STORM), Tracey Scoffield, Michael Dreyer (NINE, STARDUST, FINDING NEVERLAND), Mary Beth O'Connor and David Richenthal (TAPE) with original music by Stephen Warbeck (SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, VANILLA GORILLA, SKELLIG)
