I've reached my limit with "The Sound of Music." Last time it was on TV I waited until the "you are 16, going on 17" song ended and went to turn it off, only to discover my husband (who'd never seen it all the way through) was enjoying it. Said he felt like singing along, a rare thing for him.

I love "Fatal Attraction" but can't deal with the ending. They should've released a DVD with the original ending intact to give people a choice because the original was perfect. "Goodbye Girl" and "Tootsie" I'll always watch again, both of them have that insiders view of show business that's so fun, like "There's No Business Like Show Business" and "White Christmas" and "All That Jazz."

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. SOM...I hear you. To me the movie peaks when Maria and

Captain finally get together. I wonder if they still have the group sing-a-long version on (or off) Broadway. Always thought that would be a blast.

What was the "original" ending of FA ? No rabbit boiling ? Never heard there were two different endings.

[betsuni]

20. The Fatal Attraction original ending...

was that when the Michael Douglas character went to her apartment and she attacked him with a knife, he took it away from her and placed it on the counter (there was a close up of this); it has his fingerprints on it and she later slits her own throat while listening to Madame Butterfly, he is arrested for her murder. She's obsessed with the opera (wherein the woman is abandoned by a man and kills herself), and (I assume) part of her obsession with the Douglas character was his story about seeing it with his father and that being the only good memory he had of his father. When the movie was previewed by audiences, everyone complained so they changed it to a more conventional revenge ending.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Wow...to me, that original ending would have been much

more interesting. Did it end like that - his arrest? or did they take it to trial ? Can't imagine how a trial/verdict would play out (very long movie) - but ending at an arrest would be unsatisfying too.

I am attracted to this genre - this movie and Play Misty for me - because I think it takes an actor through a very wide range - from initial bliss and attraction slowly, incrementally, toward fear and revulsion. You can not rush that.

I do, however, find Douglas and Eastwood represent a male shallowness - disregarding feelings and getting involved in the first place while they both had "true loves" all along.

[betsuni]

33. As far as I know, the last scene was him being driven away by the police.

Circumstantial evidence was pretty convincing and even if not convicted, his career and reputation would be destroyed, so no need for a trial. The original short film by James Dearden that was expanded into the movie is called "Diversion." The dialogue is almost the same, but the story ends soon after the wife returns from her weekend away and reaches to answer the phone. There it was made clear that the husband had done that sort of thing before and wasn't very likeable. I preferred the Douglas character.
