Note de eeq
Here's a perfect example of why the villain has to be the best actor you can find, Kirk Douglas filling the bill perfectly, and the 'hero' should be at least passable, Rock Hudson unfortunately failing here. The great punchline to the movie delivered by Dorothy Malone at the end, makes this otherwise 'standard' movie worth watching. I strongly believe that his movie was very important in some unknown way to his son Michael, who was just 17 when this was filmed. WHY?-well, look at the casting of Dorothy Malone in "Basic Instinct" and the ultimate denouement of Michael Douglas in "Falling Down", arguably Michael's best work ever, Michael's Oscar's (which Kirk should have received many of) notwithstanding.
I'm not writing this to critique this movie, which tho flawed was very enjoyable. I'm wondering if Michael Douglas is trying to pay homage to his father's 1961 film "The Last Sunset" in subtle ways. The casting of Dorothy Malone (as a paroled murderess) seems more than coincidence, given that she was the female protagonist in that film, and she spouted that movie's shocking punchline. Film devotees should also note that Michael Douglas' ultimate denouement in "Falling Down", arguably his greatest work ever, mirrored his father's in "The Last Sunset." Oh well, I'll get off my soapbox now and recommend rental of "Basic Instinct." Send comments to mathisfun@optonline.net
