[QUOTE="Toni, post: 242908, member: 82"] Following my relentless pursuit of non-commercial films from the 70s and the 80s, this week I watched "The Boost", aka the movie that inspired "Fatal Attraction" (which is false, because this one was released the previous year!), aka the one whose behind-the-scenes facts were more talked about than the movie itself. You know, James Woods started an extramarital affair with Sean Young, then he tried to end it (once the filming was finished I think), and Sean was not "excited" about it. Urban legend says that she began stalking him and threatening to kill him and herself, blablabla... Young has talked about it in one of her TV biographies, and her version is different, of course. The movie is quite interesting though not as bold as it probably was back then. Basically, it´s "Days of Wine and Roses" with coke (non-Cola!) instead of wine. Both actors are terrific and have a very old-fashioned onscreen chemistry, which I find amazing given the circumstances. The budget was low but Sean has a wonderful wardrobe, and there is only one shot actually filmed in N.Y.C. (and you can see it in the trailer below, which also presents the last scene, talk about spoilers!!!). If you like the actors, they are fatally attractive here (oops, sorry).
