Bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has announced a special screening for her new film, I Had An Affair With My Husband. The screening will be free and open to the public on Wednesday, July 1 at 6 pm at Basie Center Cinemas Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey.
The film explores a unique dynamic between a married couple when the wife falls in love with a new voice her husband develops, improving their intimate life but triggering jealousy in the husband toward his own voice. The couple seeks therapy to navigate these feelings, eventually realizing that while the voice is a fantasy they can enjoy, their real love remains foundational. Dr. Holstein and her husband, Dr. Russell Holstein, drew from personal experiences to craft this lighthearted narrative about honesty and fantasy in marriage.
In conjunction with the film release, Dr. Holstein is offering the ebook version of Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories, 2nd Edition at no charge on June 28 and 29, 2026, available at Amazon Author Page. The book explores the struggles and desires of young women in the 1960s, addressing themes of sexuality, identity, and self-discovery through the stories of three college students.
