Indecent Proposal (1993 Adrian Lyne)

It's my own fault for recording another Adrian Lyne film. This is stupid and features stupid people (they could have sold their own house to keep the construction project going and not gone to Vegas to try and win the money for Wilder's sake!)

We rather lost the plot towards the end. I think Demi Moore ends up with Redford for a bit but then she gravitates back to Woody Harrelson, they both having learned life's lesson blah blah.

John Barry's score sounds like leftover bits from Out of Africa. Photographed by Howard Atherton and edited by Joe Hutshing. Won Oscar and BAFTA for Amy Holden Jones' adapted screenplay (not really).

With Oliver Platt, Seymour Cassel and (briefly) Billy Bob Thornton and Billy Connelly.

Demi it seems had a most unsettled childhood and a series of unsuccessful marriages. She had to straighten out her drug taking in order to be in St Elmo's Fire. Her big hits were Ghost, Striptease, Disclosure (directed by Barry Levinson, with Michael Douglas and Donald Sutherland) and A Few Good Men. She's still working, just not in anything particularly notable.
