Goodbye Lover (1998): Cast, Box Office & Plot

Sandra Dunmore, played by Patricia Arquette, is a charming real estate agent with a blonde bob who begins a flirtatious and openly sexual sequence with her brother-in-law Ben. Their encounters unfold as they attend church together and participate in community outreach, where she quietly plays back a micro floppy disk of pipe organ sequences for the church choir, a detail that deepens the sense of obsession she has with their illicit bond. The atmosphere at church and in Sandra’s polished professional life dissolves into a dangerous, escalating affair, all underscored by Sandra’s fixation on a favorite The Sound of Music soundtrack that seems to soundtrack every secret moment.
