  • Douglas’s combination of this film, Wall Street and an Oscar is endorsed as his career peak.
  • Close’s commercial peak is distinguished from her best acting, with Dangerous Liaisons favored for performance and its Oscar loss lamented.
  • Archer is endorsed for her performance and appeal; swapping her and Close would undermine the film.
  • Bedford receives a yes. Female thriller villains are considered through the film’s influence, with concern about less sophisticated successors.
  • Lyne is endorsed for his best film, director nomination and proximity to Nine 1/2 Weeks; gated elevators win over Unfaithful.
