About A Marriage of Convenience
Succesful businesswoman Chris Winslow gives up her career to raise her deceased sister's son, Kevin. Eight years later, she must contend with the boy's father who was unaware of his son's existence. Prompted by a wise judge, they decide to enter into a marriage of convenience in order to not upset the child, though they soon find that they may just be in love after all.
Directed by James Keach, A Marriage of Convenience leans on a strong ensemble — Jane Seymour, James Brolin, David Kaye — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1998.
