...moguls hated movies where people wore powdered wigs and wrote with feathers. So this film's first images should set the old bosses spinning in their mausoleums. A gentleman's peruke is affixed, a lady's bosom powdered. But this gentleman, the Vicomte de Valmont (John Malkovich), is an icy defiler, and this lady, the Marquise de Merteuil (Glenn Close), secretes contempt under her frozen smile. Among the French aristocracy just before the Revolution, she is the stage manager of affections and deceptions, he the lickerish snake who literally hisses at his adversaries. Their cruel games will lead them...

...Robertson's secular savvy is overrated. He talks often about Yale law school but not about the bar exam he flunked. He boasts of his business skills, though he was taken in by a con woman who promised him the Hunt family's inheritance. He bred vipers in his bosom called Tammy Faye and Jim. Like John $ Kennedy, he had a phantom experience with a London university that eerily grew in later resumes. His principal books were written "with" professional writers, and he is uneasy and defensive when asked about that...
