Indecent proposal sex scenes

Please refresh the page and retry. But its most overt influence is the film it references at the midway point of its first episode. Indecent Proposal was a moral dilemma disguised as an early-Nineties potboiler, with Robert Redford , Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson all circling one deceptively simple question: for an enormous sum of money, would you have sex with a stranger? Like Basic Instinct one year earlier, it was impossible to separate what had become a galvanising and sex-fuelled blockbuster from its dubious politics, both in what they said about sex, power and money in the Nineties, and in their regressive depictions of their female characters.

The Murphys are high school sweethearts deeply in love. Diana sells real estate, and David is a recently unemployed architect. Billy Bob Thornton makes a brief appearance, telling the Murphys all about the infamous John Gage Redford before they actually meet him. Redford, charming and mysterious, makes an offer, at first hypothetical, which will change everything for David and Diana. What would make you sleep well at night? But the quality of the acting makes the hyperbole easier to stomach. This is, after all, Redford still in his prime with Moore and Harrelson just getting started.

This is one of those high-concept pictures with a big windup and weak delivery. On paper, a film in which billionaire Robert Redford offers down-on-their-luck married couple Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore a cool million in exchange for one night with Demi sounds surefire. Onscreen, the result has little sex, goes nowhere interesting or believable in the second long hour, and sports an idiotic conclusion that looks like Test Marketing Ending No. But the recession has dented his architectural career and her real estate sales. But when they hit bottom, fate appears in the guise of Redford, a handsome high roller who first calls upon Moore for good luck, sets the couple up in an opulent suite and buys her a fancy dress before making the Proposition.

Demi loves Woody. Woody loves Demi. The dog loves them both, and all is well in their comfy Californian lives until, in a spectacularly 90s-style plot development, the recession strikes and they get booted from their gainful employment as an architect him and estate agent her. So, it's — rather unwisely — off to Las Vegas to try and raise the readies to fulfil that dream of a self-designed pad on the beach, or at least to keep body and soul together till the boom years return. Just 15 minutes into Indecent Proposal, and things are not looking good.
