New Film 'I Had An Affair With My Husband' Screens Free July 1

Bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has announced a special free screening of her new film, I Had An Affair With My Husband, on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at 6 pm at Basie Center Cinemas Theatre in Red Bank, NJ. The film explores a unique and humorous dynamic between a married couple: the wife falls in love with a new voice her husband develops, leading to an improved intimate life but also intense jealousy from the husband toward his own voice. The couple eventually seeks therapy to address the disconnect between the husband's persona and this new identity, ultimately reaching an honest understanding that while the voice is a fantasy they can enjoy—perhaps expanding with other personas—their real love remains foundational. Dr. Holstein notes that the story is based on experiences she and her husband, psychologist Dr. Russell Holstein, lived through, and she emphasizes that the film is a lighthearted romp revealing how life's romantic difficulties can be handled with humor and understanding.

In addition to the film, Dr. Holstein is promoting her book Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories, 2nd Edition, which explores the struggles and desires of young women in the 1960s—the complexities of sexuality, identity, and self-discovery. The ebook version will be available free of charge on June 28 and 29, 2026, at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U.
