You know, in the original ending, Glenn Close's character kills herself a la Madame Butterfly, but in such a way that Michael Douglas' character gets blamed for it and goes to jail for murder. Next time the film is on TV, watch it and you'll see how they set it all up- shots of him touching the knife, etc. But test audiences hated it; they wanted to see Glenn Close pay. Which says something kind of depressing about the average audience member, I think- I mean, HE was the married one, after all... she gets shot by his wife, who then takes him back. Yeah, that's real uplifting. I'm just sorry they left out what should have been the final scene in that version, when Michael Douglas puts his arm around Anne Archer, they walk into the living room together and then she cuts his balls off and puts them in a little box.
Of course, my husband's big problem with the movie was, "Who would cheat on Anne Archer in the first place?"
