The Family Man is a 1979 television film, directed by Glenn Jordan and starring Ed Asner and Meredith Baxter Birney.
Asner plays a prosperous Irish-born New Yorker who falls in love with a young pianist and is tempted to be unfaithful to his wife for the first time.[1]
Writing in the New York Times, Tom Buckley gave the film a bad review, calling the script "resolutely undramatic, stilted and humorless", the directing "like stretching taffy" and Asner's accent "intermittent and unconvincing".[1]
