The original version was released 30 years ago today
Indecent Proposal
was a huge box office success, making over $266 million worldwide on a $38 million budget. This was during a time when erotic thrillers and erotic dramas were some of the biggest cinematic genres going, but the movie also left audiences asking the question of themselves and their significant other: What would you do if someone offered you/your partner $1 million to spend the night with you/them?Unfortunately, the movie itself never really got more interesting than asking that question.
In the movie, Diana and David are a happily married but extremely broke couple, who cross paths with ultra rich John while on a trip in Vegas, who makes the offer: $1 million in exchange for one night with Diana. They all agree to it, but soon afterwards, the jealousy between David and Diana begins to erode their relationship, essentially driving Diana into John's waiting arms.But even this original version left out a huge plot point from the 1988 novel that it was based on...
By putting the spotlight on David, it would deter the idea of women simply giving into submissive roles to any man in a position of wealth and power, while also potentially giving a very interesting interpretation of sexuality and modern masculinity.
