It received a mostly negative response from critics for the contrivances and implausibilities of its story. It also sparked controversy, with feminists arguing the film's premise promotes prostitution and the treatment of women as property. Despite this, the film was a box office success and grossed nearly $267 million worldwide on a $38 million budget, becoming the sixth highest-grossing film of 1993.

Plot edit

David and Diana Murphy are married high school sweethearts living in California. Diana works as a real estate agent, while David hopes to establish himself as an architect by designing their dream home. The couple invest everything they have in David's project, purchasing beachfront property in Santa Monica and beginning construction, but the recession leaves Diana without houses to sell and David without a job. In desperate need of $50,000 to save their land from being repossessed, they travel to Las Vegas, determined to win the money.

At a casino, Diana catches the eye of billionaire John Gage, while David wins over $25,000 at craps. Reveling in their winnings, Diana assures David that she loves him regardless of the money. The next day, they lose everything at roulette; leaving the casino, they notice a crowd gathered to watch Gage play baccarat. Gage asks Diana to join him for good luck, and she makes a winning craps roll on his $1 million bet. As thanks, Gage insists on paying for the Murphys' stay, giving them a lavish hotel suite and a dress he saw Diana admire. After an enjoyable evening together, Gage offers the couple $1 million to allow him to spend a night with Diana, but she and David refuse.

Diana works very hard to convince David to let it go but they ultimately agree to Gage's proposal. David contacts his lawyer, who prepares a contract for the arrangement. Leaving Diana with Gage, David has a change of heart and races to stop them, but arrives just as they depart by helicopter. Gage flies Diana to his private yacht, and offers her a chance to void their deal and return to her husband if he loses a toss of his lucky coin. He wins the toss, and Diana spends the night with him.

Agreeing to forget the incident, the Murphys return home, and learn their property was foreclosed and resold. Overcome with jealousy, David accuses Diana of continuing to see Gage after finding his business card in her wallet, which she denies knowing about. Discovering that it was Gage who bought out their land, Diana angrily confronts him, and rejects his attempts to pursue her. When she informs David, their tension reaches a breaking point and they separate; Diana later tells him to keep all the money.

Weeks later, Gage visits Diana at work and renews his advances. Initially resistant, she eventually consents to spending time with him, and a romance develops between them. Haunted by happy memories of his wife, David hits rock bottom, leading to a public confrontation with Gage and Diana. He pulls his life back together, finds a teaching position, and Diana files for divorce. Finding her at a zoo benefit with Gage, David donates the entire $1 million in a charity auction bid, then makes his peace with Diana and signs their divorce papers.

Realizing that Diana will never love him the way she loves David, Gage lies to her that she is merely the latest member of his "million-dollar club" of women. Seeing through his deception, she gratefully ends their relationship; before parting ways, he gives her his lucky coin, which she realizes is double-headed. Diana returns to the pier where David proposed to her seven years earlier, finding him there. Repeating their unique declaration of love, they join hands.

Cast edit

Production edit

Development edit

Paramount Pictures bought the rights to Jack Engelhard's 1988 novel Indecent Proposal for $120,000.[6] Adrian Lyne signed on to direct, reuniting with producer Sherry Lansing, with whom he had worked on Fatal Attraction.[5] Lyne had a falling out with past collaborator Stanley Jaffe, who wanted the film to be released by Christmas season of 1992 and thus allotted for limited post-production time.[5]

The film was originally planned as a vehicle for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, with Warren Beatty as John Gage.[5][7] Kidman and Isabelle Adjani screen tested for the role of Diana.[5] Cruise backed out amidst speculation that the film's morals conflicted with his new involvement in the Church of Scientology.[5] Robert Redford accepted the part of Gage on the condition that his character be adjusted to be less of a villain.[8] He turned down the $4 million salary initially offered him in exchange for gross profit participation from the film's box office.[5]

Johnny Depp,[5] Tim Robbins,[5] and William Baldwin[9] were among the actors considered for the role of David Murphy. Woody Harrelson dropped out of the film Benny & Joon to commit to the role, resulting in a lawsuit from MGM-Pathe Entertainment that was settled out of court.[10][5]

Writing edit

Of the script, screenwriter Amy Holden Jones said there were multiple third-act changes to the script, made primarily by men.[11] Jones initially wrote the ending with Diana leaving Gage of her own accord, without prompting from Gage.[12]

Jones said, "I always had a lot of trouble with the movie after [David and Diana] split up. The men in charge, and particularly Redford, decided to make [Gage] very sympathetic. In the original script, it was a clear journey where she came to realize that she was his next acquisition. There were four or five people that Redford cycled through to work on his character. In my draft, what she said to him was that you can’t buy love, and then she left him. He had that changed, because Robert Redford couldn’t be left."[11]

Jones added, "I thought [Diana] should leave both men at the end. I brought it up several times [in studio meetings], including once the movie was greenlit. And that was basically laughed at. No one would consider it, really."[11]

William Goldman says he was brought in to work on the script after John Cusack had turned it down. "They couldn’t get anyone to do it," he said. "I wrote a draft and I don’t think they changed anything. I don’t know why the actors decided to do it or didn’t do it, but it was an enormous success so that’s good for me." [13]

Filming edit

Filming began in Las Vegas in June 1992.[14] The casino scenes were filmed at the Westgate Las Vegas.[14] After a month in Las Vegas, the production moved to southern California, where locations included the Echo Park neighborhood and a Santa Barbara mansion that stood in for Gage’s home.[5]

Lyne decided to feature the novel Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women in a scene because author Susan Faludi had notably criticized Lyne’s film Fatal Attraction.[15][16]

Lyne completed post-production work on the film roughly two weeks before its opening in April 1993.[5]

Differences between novel and film edit

Engelhard's novel contained cultural friction that the screenwriter left out of the movie: the main character, named Joshua, is Jewish, and his billionaire foil is Arab.[8] In a review of the novel, The New York Times summarized its themes as "the sanctity of marriage versus the love of money, the Jew versus significant non-Jews such as shiksas and sheiks, skill versus luck, materialism versus spirituality, Israel versus the Arab countries, the past versus the future, and the religious world versus the secular one."[17]

Reception edit

Box office edit

Indecent Proposal was a box office success, grossing $106,614,059 in the US and Canada and $159,985,941 internationally for a worldwide total of $266,600,000.[2][18]

The film opened on 1,694 screens in the United States and Canada on April 7, 1993, and grossed $18,387,632 in its opening weekend to top the US box office, the biggest opening at the time for an April release. It was number one for four weeks[18] and became the sixth highest-grossing film of 1993.[19] Some journalists attributed the audience turnout to Paramount’s strong marketing campaign, as well as the film's sensational premise that made for heated debates.[20][21][3]

It entered international release on April 23, 1993, previewing on 66 screens in Australia for the weekend. Despite only playing for three days, it topped the Australian box office for the week with a three-day gross of $0.8 million (A$1.16 million).[22][23] It officially opened in Australia on April 29 and remained at number one for four more weeks.[24] In the UK, it also benefited from previews in topping the UK box office with an opening weekend gross of $2.4 million (£1.5 million) including previews.[25][26] It remained number one in the UK for three weeks.[27] In Italy it was Paramount/United International Pictures' second biggest ever opening with an opening weekend gross of $1.6 million.[25]

Critical response edit

The film received negative reviews from critics, who cited the contrivances of the film's script and its underdeveloped characters.[28][29][30][31] Critics noted that the film was the latest of a string of movies that involved women being treated as property, such as Pretty Woman, Honeymoon in Vegas, and Mad Dog and Glory.[4][12][32][33] A major criticism was that the film did not fully explore its potentially enticing premise. Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote, "For all its ostensible daring, 'Indecent Proposal' is much too cautious. None of the three principals really change as a consequence of the story. None of the frankness that might make matters interesting is allowed to sully the romantic mood. None of the characters have lives outside the confines of the story, although the lonely Gage, when celebrating a big gambling win, suddenly gives a party for 200 anonymous, soigne-looking friends."[34]

In The Telegraph, Anthony Brett said that despite its packaging as a steamy thriller, "Indecent Proposal is in fact a largely distasteful and bizarrely plodding romantic drama, one that gently pokes at lofty ideas about power and marriage and the American dream but scurries away before it hits on anything too dicey."[8] In Entertainment Weekly, Owen Gleiberman wrote, "'Indecent Proposal' starts out kinky and turns into a languid — and shockingly banal — domestic soap opera. Like '9 1/2 Weeks', the movie is all tease, all come-on. Next time Lyne should try for something a little more indecent."[32]

Critics generally praised Redford's performance, but some lamented that the character of John Gage was given too much of a sympathetic edge, and that the role was merely a chance for Redford to once again play Jay Gatsby.[32][34][35][31] Gleiberman wrote, "Like Michael Douglas' Gordon Gekko, he has that aura of money that’s almost tactile — even in his dark suit, he glows — and he speaks with the dry enticement of someone who has had too much of what he wants and now gets his kicks by testing people, living through their experiences."[32]

Of Moore, Maslin wrote, she "pours all of her effort into going through such motions smolderingly, and none into whatever sense may lie behind them. That's fine for the role; she falters only when the screenplay turns mute or turns up howlers."[34] Todd McCarthy wrote, "What emotional legitimacy the film does possess stems from Moore's performance, which is lively, heartfelt and believable until the script ceases to permit it."[35] Several critics found Harrelson to be the weak link of the cast, with McCarthy writing the actor is not given much to do except display "puppydog love in the first section and standard-issue jealousy in the second".[35][36][37] However, multiple critics were complimentary of the film's supporting cast, particularly Oliver Platt as the Murphys' wisecracking, sleazy lawyer.[35][37][34]

Multiple critics opined that the film loses its narrative steam after the climactic deal takes place.[34][35][28] In a 2014 review, Nathan Rabin wrote, "Indecent Proposal suffers from a distinct lack of stakes. The second [Diana returns from her night with Gage], the million dollars that just moments ago was going to change her and her husband's lives ceases to matter. Diana doesn’t want it. David doesn’t want it...Money ultimately doesn’t matter in the sleazy fairy-tale world of Indecent Proposal, only love, and when money threatens to soil that love, then it must be openly rejected."[38]

The film also sparked significant backlash from feminists and critics for its depiction of a woman bartering with her body for the benefit of her husband.[39] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called the film "sexist propaganda."[40] Activist Betty Friedan and filmmaker Callie Khouri argued the film promotes the idea of prostitution, with Friedan saying, "What does it say? Thirteen-year-old girls will see that movie and be told you don’t need to bother to do your homework or to get an MBA, all you need to do is diet enough to be anorexic, get some silicone and look for that lonely billionaire."[3] Feminist writer Susan Faludi likened Gage's actions in the film to "essentially...raping a woman with money."[4] Producer Denise Di Novi suggested the film could be characterized as a women in prison film, because it has a woman in a "submissive, controlled situation."[4] Camille Paglia dissented, saying "What is it about this picture that moviegoers are in sync with? (Is it) women’s sexuality in ways feminist rhetoric is unable to define?"[3]

Amy Holden Jones wrote a defense of the film in the Los Angeles Times, arguing that Diana had agency in her choice and that much of the criticism levied against the film came from male critics.[41] Jones later said, "When the film was released, it caused a great deal of controversy, because, you know, how could I write this thing about a woman spending the night with this guy for a million dollars? The idea that a woman should not be tempted by any of those things, or she should be so pure that you can’t make a movie about her feeling that way — I mean, go watch some French cinema! It's more complicated than that. I’m as big a feminist as you’ll find, but part of feminism for me is that women can be portrayed not as visions of perfection on-screen, but as whole human beings with choices."[11]

Among the few critics to review the film positively was Roger Ebert.[42] Ebert gave the film a thumbs up on Siskel & Ebert, while his colleague Gene Siskel gave it a thumbs down.[43] In his print review, Ebert admitted there "are large challenges to logic" and the plot is "manipulative", but said "there is a genuine romantic spirit at work here", concluding that a necessary suspension of disbelief is "why we line up at the ticket window: We want to leave the real world, for a couple of hours, anyway".[44] He also described the film's decision to keep the actual night of adultery offscreen as wise.[44]

Caryn James of The New York Times also gave a positive review, writing that while Honeymoon in Vegas and Mad Dog and Glory "dance around the issue of buying and bartering people, 'Indecent Proposal' embraces it. It isn't aways a good film; it employs lazy voice-overs to express sappy sentiments about the Murphys' eternal love. But it turns an inflammatory plot into a surprisingly honest and entertaining movie."[37] Her colleague Janet Maslin gave a similarly mixed response, saying the film "calls for grudging admiration. Working with a ridiculous premise and...[a] badly underwritten script...the director of 'Flashdance' and 'Fatal Attraction' has still come up with the sort of sexy pop parable that is his specialty. Mr. Lyne's films may not cast any new light on the human condition, but they do keep you glued to the screen."[34]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Indecent Proposal has a 34% "rotten" rating based on 47 reviews, with an average rating of 4.8/10. The consensus reads: "Lurid but acted with gusto, Indecent Proposal has difficulty keeping it up beyond its initial titillating premise."[45] Audience response was less negative, with those polled by CinemaScore giving an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[46] The film is listed in Golden Raspberry Award founder John Wilson's book The Official Razzie Movie Guide as one of the "100 most enjoyably worst movies ever made".[47]

Remake edit

On July 30, 2018, Paramount Players announced that a remake of the film was in development, with the screenplay being written by Erin Cressida Wilson.[55][1]

In popular culture edit

The animation series The Simpsons's 2002 episode "Half-Decent Proposal" parodies the movie's premise.[56]

In the television series Mad About You, "A Pair of Hearts", during the end credits, the married couple Paul and Jamie Buchman are approached by a man who offers a million dollars to sleep with Jamie. They immediately reply "Sure!", and, after a quick smooch, Jamie leaves with the man (to the laughter of the audience).[56]

Oliver Platt as Jeremy Green Billy Bob Thornton as Day Tripper Rip Taylor as Mr Langford 5 Billy Connolly as auction MC Pamela Holt as David s girlfriend Tommy Bush as Mr Murphy Sheena Easton as herself Herbie Hancock as himselfProduction editDevelopment edit Paramount Pictures bought the rights to Jack Engelhard s 1988 novel Indecent Proposal for 120 000 6 Adrian Lyne signed on to direct reuniting with producer Sherry Lansing with whom he had worked on Fatal Attraction 5 Lyne had a falling out with past collaborator Stanley Jaffe who wanted the film to be released by Christmas season of 1992 and thus allotted for limited post production time 5 The film was originally planned as a vehicle for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman with Warren Beatty as John Gage 5 7 Kidman and Isabelle Adjani screen tested for the role of Diana 5 Cruise backed out amidst speculation that the film s morals conflicted with his new involvement in the Church of Scientology 5 Robert Redford accepted the part of Gage on the condition that his character be adjusted to be less of a villain 8 He turned down the 4 million salary initially offered him in exchange for gross profit participation from the film s box office 5 Johnny Depp 5 Tim Robbins 5 and William Baldwin 9 were among the actors considered for the role of David Murphy Woody Harrelson dropped out of the film Benny amp Joon to commit to the role resulting in a lawsuit from MGM Pathe Entertainment that was settled out of court 10 5 Writing edit Of the script screenwriter Amy Holden Jones said there were multiple third act changes to the script made primarily by men 11 Jones initially wrote the ending with Diana leaving Gage of her own accord without prompting from Gage 12 Jones said I always had a lot of trouble with the movie after David and Diana split up The men in charge and particularly Redford decided to make Gage very sympathetic In the original script it was a clear journey where she came to realize that she was his next acquisition There were four or five people that Redford cycled through to work on his character In my draft what she said to him was that you can t buy love and then she left him He had that changed because Robert Redford couldn t be left 11 Jones added I thought Diana should leave both men at the end I brought it up several times in studio meetings including once the movie was greenlit And that was basically laughed at No one would consider it really 11 William Goldman says he was brought in to work on the script after John Cusack had turned it down They couldn t get anyone to do it he said I wrote a draft and I don t think they changed anything I don t know why the actors decided to do it or didn t do it but it was an enormous success so that s good for me 13 Filming edit Filming began in Las Vegas in June 1992 14 The casino scenes were filmed at the Westgate Las Vegas 14 After a month in Las Vegas the production moved to southern California where locations included the Echo Park neighborhood and a Santa Barbara mansion that stood in for Gage s home 5 Lyne decided to feature the novel Backlash The Undeclared War Against American Women in a scene because author Susan Faludi had notably criticized Lyne s film Fatal Attraction 15 16 Lyne completed post production work on the film roughly two weeks before its opening in April 1993 5 Differences between novel and film edit Engelhard s novel contained cultural friction that the screenwriter left out of the movie the main character named Joshua is Jewish and his billionaire foil is Arab 8 In a review of the novel The New York Times summarized its themes as the sanctity of marriage versus the love of money the Jew versus significant non Jews such as shiksas and sheiks skill versus luck materialism versus spirituality Israel versus the Arab countries the past versus the future and the religious world versus the secular one 17 Reception editBox office edit Indecent Proposal was a box office success grossing 106 614 059 in the US and Canada and 159 985 941 internationally for a worldwide total of 266 600 000 2 18 The film opened on 1 694 screens in the United States and Canada on April 7 1993 and grossed 18 387 632 in its opening weekend to top the US box office the biggest opening at the time for an April release It was number one for four weeks 18 and became the sixth highest grossing film of 1993 19 Some journalists attributed the audience turnout to Paramount s strong marketing campaign as well as the film s sensational premise that made for heated debates 20 21 3 It entered international release on April 23 1993 previewing on 66 screens in Australia for the weekend Despite only playing for three days it topped the Australian box office for the week with a three day gross of 0 8 million A 1 16 million 22 23 It officially opened in Australia on April 29 and remained at number one for four more weeks 24 In the UK it also benefited from previews in topping the UK box office with an opening weekend gross of 2 4 million 1 5 million including previews 25 26 It remained number one in the UK for three weeks 27 In Italy it was Paramount United International Pictures second biggest ever opening with an opening weekend gross of 1 6 million 25 Critical response edit The film received negative reviews from critics who cited the contrivances of the film s script and its underdeveloped characters 28 29 30 31 Critics noted that the film was the latest of a string of movies that involved women being treated as property such as Pretty Woman Honeymoon in Vegas and Mad Dog and Glory 4 12 32 33 A major criticism was that the film did not fully explore its potentially enticing premise Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote For all its ostensible daring Indecent Proposal is much too cautious None of the three principals really change as a consequence of the story None of the frankness that might make matters interesting is allowed to sully the romantic mood None of the characters have lives outside the confines of the story although the lonely Gage when celebrating a big gambling win suddenly gives a party for 200 anonymous soigne looking friends 34 In The Telegraph Anthony Brett said that despite its packaging as a steamy thriller Indecent Proposal is in fact a largely distasteful and bizarrely plodding romantic drama one that gently pokes at lofty ideas about power and marriage and the American dream but scurries away before it hits on anything too dicey 8 In Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman wrote Indecent Proposal starts out kinky and turns into a languid and shockingly banal domestic soap opera Like 9 1 2 Weeks the movie is all tease all come on Next time Lyne should try for something a little more indecent 32 Critics generally praised Redford s performance but some lamented that the character of John Gage was given too much of a sympathetic edge and that the role was merely a chance for Redford to once again play Jay Gatsby 32 34 35 31 Gleiberman wrote Like Michael Douglas Gordon Gekko he has that aura of money that s almost tactile even in his dark suit he glows and he speaks with the dry enticement of someone who has had too much of what he wants and now gets his kicks by testing people living through their experiences 32 Of Moore Maslin wrote she pours all of her effort into going through such motions smolderingly and none into whatever sense may lie behind them That s fine for the role she falters only when the screenplay turns mute or turns up howlers 34 Todd McCarthy wrote What emotional legitimacy the film does possess stems from Moore s performance which is lively heartfelt and believable until the script ceases to permit it 35 Several critics found Harrelson to be the weak link of the cast with McCarthy writing the actor is not given much to do except display puppydog love in the first section and standard issue jealousy in the second 35 36 37 However multiple critics were complimentary of the film s supporting cast particularly Oliver Platt as the Murphys wisecracking sleazy lawyer 35 37 34 Multiple critics opined that the film loses its narrative steam after the climactic deal takes place 34 35 28 In a 2014 review Nathan Rabin wrote Indecent Proposal suffers from a distinct lack of stakes The second Diana returns from her night with Gage the million dollars that just moments ago was going to change her and her husband s lives ceases to matter Diana doesn t want it David doesn t want it Money ultimately doesn t matter in the sleazy fairy tale world of Indecent Proposal only love and when money threatens to soil that love then it must be openly rejected 38 The film also sparked significant backlash from feminists and critics for its depiction of a woman bartering with her body for the benefit of her husband 39 Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called the film sexist propaganda 40 Activist Betty Friedan and filmmaker Callie Khouri argued the film promotes the idea of prostitution with Friedan saying What does it say Thirteen year old girls will see that movie and be told you don t need to bother to do your homework or to get an MBA all you need to do is diet enough to be anorexic get some silicone and look for that lonely billionaire 3 Feminist writer Susan Faludi likened Gage s actions in the film to essentially raping a woman with money 4 Producer Denise Di Novi suggested the film could be characterized as a women in prison film because it has a woman in a submissive controlled situation 4 Camille Paglia dissented saying What is it about this picture that moviegoers are in sync with Is it women s sexuality in ways feminist rhetoric is unable to define 3 Amy Holden Jones wrote a defense of the film in the Los Angeles Times arguing that Diana had agency in her choice and that much of the criticism levied against the film came from male critics 41 Jones later said When the film was released it caused a great deal of controversy because you know how could I write this thing about a woman spending the night with this guy for a million dollars The idea that a woman should not be tempted by any of those things or she should be so pure that you can t make a movie about her feeling that way I mean go watch some French cinema It s more complicated than that I m as big a feminist as you ll find but part of feminism for me is that women can be portrayed not as visions of perfection on screen but as whole human beings with choices 11 Among the few critics to review the film positively was Roger Ebert 42 Ebert gave the film a thumbs up on Siskel amp Ebert while his colleague Gene Siskel gave it a thumbs down 43 In his print review Ebert admitted there are large challenges to logic and the plot is manipulative but said there is a genuine romantic spirit at work here concluding that a necessary suspension of disbelief is why we line up at the ticket window We want to leave the real world for a couple of hours anyway 44 He also described the film s decision to keep the actual night of adultery offscreen as wise 44 Caryn James of The New York Times also gave a positive review writing that while Honeymoon in Vegas and Mad Dog and Glory dance around the issue of buying and bartering people Indecent Proposal embraces it It isn t aways a good film it employs lazy voice overs to express sappy sentiments about the Murphys eternal love But it turns an inflammatory plot into a surprisingly honest and entertaining movie 37 Her colleague Janet Maslin gave a similarly mixed response saying the film calls for grudging admiration Working with a ridiculous premise and a badly underwritten script the director of Flashdance and Fatal Attraction has still come up with the sort of sexy pop parable that is his specialty Mr Lyne s films may not cast any new light on the human condition but they do keep you glued to the screen 34 On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes Indecent Proposal has a 34 rotten rating based on 47 reviews with an average rating of 4 8 10 The consensus reads Lurid but acted with gusto Indecent Proposal has difficulty keeping it up beyond its initial titillating premise 45 Audience response was less negative with those polled by CinemaScore giving an average grade of B on an A to F scale 46 The film is listed in Golden Raspberry Award founder John Wilson s book The
