Without doubt, the touchy theme makes this film worth watching.
However, your opinion of it will, very likely, be influenced by what your own reaction to the 1 million dollar proposal would have been if you were in the same situation.
The film doesn't condemn anybody. It just reveals the fragility of a relationship, despite the strong love that resides in it.
Does it really matters if this kind of indecent proposal is not a realistic scenario? The millionaire willing to give a million dollars to spend one night with someone else's gorgeous wife is a fantasy. The consequences are, however, real.
The film uses an extravagant trigger to create a convincing emotional crisis that many couples will recognize.
The message is that at the end, true love wins; an attitude that I would recommend to any loving pair, attained by jealousy and resentment.
