Marge Hills (Rachel Ward) feels stifled by her marriage and her staid life in a small Australian town in 1939. Marge's husband, Sonny (Bryan Brown), surprises her with his openness to her desire for something more, even giving his blessing to her desire for extramarital sex. When a charismatic stranger named Neville Gifford (Sam Neill) comes to town, Marge identifies him as a suitable lover.

Critic Reviews for The Good Wife

The Good Wife is slow, solemn and boring.

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
May have been more successful had director Ken Cameron taken a less earnest approach...All the same, performances are tops, especially Bryan Brown and on and off screen wife Rachel Ward
