Diane Lane is a wayward wife and Richard Gere is her suspicious husband in Adrian Lyne 's Unfaithful . Connie ( Lane ) leaves her suburban home on an errand, venturing into Manhattan during a wicked windstorm. On a trash-strewn Soho street, she literally runs into Paul Martel ( Olivier Martinez ), a handsome young Frenchman carrying a huge stack of books. Connie has a bad scrape on her knee, and is unable to get a cab, so Paul invites her up to his apartment. Paul is quietly flirtatious as he gives Connie some ice and a bandage for her knee. Connie phones home and explains to her son, Charlie ( Erik Per Sullivan ), that she's running late. Before she leaves, Paul gives her a book of Persian poetry, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam . She mentions the encounter in passing to Edward ( Gere ), her husband, but it's clear that she's obsessing about Paul, and soon she's back in the city, with a pretext for calling him up. Soon, they are lovers, and they grow bolder and bolder in their passion. Edward begins to suspect, and eventually gets a private investigator ( Dominic Chianese of The Sopranos ) to follow Connie. His worst fears confirmed, Edward decides to confront Paul, a decision that will come to haunt him. While the screenplay for Unfaithful is credited to Alvin Sargent ( Ordinary People ) and William Broyles Jr. ( Cast Away ), the inspiration for Lyne 's film came from Claude Chabrol 's acclaimed 1969 film La Femme Infidele . -- Josh Ralske
