Man, Woman and Child is a 1983 American drama film directed by Dick Richards and written by Erich Segal and David Zelag Goodman. The film is based on Erich Segal's 1980 novel of the same name.

The Bollywood film Masoom is an unauthorised remake of Man, Woman and Child.

Plot

Martin Sheen is Robert, the man - a sensitive, intelligent family man who, in a brief affair long past, fathered a child whose sudden appearance threatens his happy life. Blythe Danner is Sheila, the woman - a strong, loving wife and mother whose deep love and commitment are stretched to the breaking point by the unexpected arrival of her husband's illegitimate son. Crafted in the tender tradition of Love Story, what follows is an evocative, emotionally charged movie about a typical American family whose deep love is shaken, tested and ultimately reaffirmed.
