Meanwhile, Pryce is suffering from writer's block, while his long suffering wife is typing out her own manuscript. Pryce speaks to his wife contemptuosly about her effort. She gives her finished manuscript to Walken, who likes it and agrees to publish her book. This angers Pryce, who actually tells Walken not to publish it, so enraged is he by his wife actually having a thought that does not evolve around him. Walken meets with the wife and sees her as the beautiful, warm, intelligent, and articulate woman that she is.

Delighted to be treated like a normal person, rather than an appendage of her husband, Walken and Bouquet begin an affair that culminates in divorce from Pryce and marriage to Walken. She finds out that once married, however, Walken basically expects her world to revolve around him. In essence, Pryce and Walken are basically one and the same. She ultimately leaves Walken, writes another book, and becomes a best selling author in her own right and a woman of independent means. She comes into her own as a person, and is no longer another's doormat. This is the story of her liberation as a woman.


TERRIFIC CHRISTOPHER WALKEN VIDEO   January 19, 2001
I bought this to see Christopher Walken in it. He did not play the main character, but as a supporting actor, he was witty, handsome and delicious! I saw this on a Pay TV channel a few years back. It is late night because of the mature subject, and nudity (yes, she is gorgeous!) If you are a Christopher Walken fan, this is a must see. This is one of the few movies he is in, in which he shows that he can be more than a "bad guy" actor. I wish he would do more comedies. If you are a Walken fan, I highly recommend trying to get "Puss In Boots." He plays the cat in that movie. He is young and adorable. He also can sing and dance!
