synopsis
The Italian The Lie (L'Attenzione) stars British actor Ben Cross. He plays a wealthy author who has an obsession with making love to impoverished girls. In the tradition of rakes and cads everywhere, Cross promises his conquests eternal devotion, then dumps them unceremoniously. His callous sexual habits have devastating consequences, particularly for sisters Amanda and Stefania Sandrelli. Ben Cross is a fine actor, but even he cannot make the odious protagonist of The Lie worth caring about.
