About Playing with Fire
A divorced man falls in love and then marries a divorced woman in the first third of the film. The man, Danny, has one son, Les, and the woman, Cathy, has two daughters. However, the two sets of kids haven't ever seen each other. So when everybody meets at the dinner table, Dan discovers he has had an affair with Cathy's older daughter.
Directed by Kirdy Stevens, Playing with Fire leans on a strong ensemble — Brooke West, Randy West, Candy Cummings — 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 screen titles of 1983.
