Desperate to keep his secret and preserve his happy marriage, Douglas tries to reason with her, threaten her and even hide from her, but she is implacable. She visits him at the office, calls him at home in the middle of the night, throws acid on his car, visits his wife under the pretext of buying their apartment. The moment sex is over for her, capture begins, and she starts a series of demands on Douglas's time and attention. The film was directed by Adrian Lyne ('9 1/2 Weeks'), whose ideas of love and genital acrobatics seem more or less equivalent.ĭouglas has made it clear that he's a happily married man and that he sees their meeting as a one-night stand ('Two adults who saw an opportunity and took advantage of it'), but Close doesn't see it that way. Their couplings take place in a freight elevator, on the kitchen sink and, I think, in bed.

She finds him willing to be seduced, and they have wild, passionate sex. She makes it her business to get to know him, and one weekend when Douglas's wife and daughter are out of town visiting his in-laws, he invites the blond out to dinner. The movie is so right for so long that you can almost feel the moment when the script goes click and sells out.The story stars Michael Douglas as a lawyer who has been happily married for nine years, has a 6-year-old daughter, loves his wife and has no particular problems on the day he meets an intriguing blond (Glenn Close) at a business party. 'Fatal Attraction' is a spellbinding psychological thriller that could have been a great movie if the filmmakers had not thrown character and plausibility to the winds in the last minutes to give us their version of a grown-up 'Friday the 13th.'īecause the good things in the movie - including the performances - are so very good, it's a shame that the film's potential for greatness was so blatantly compromised.
