In this episode, Lady Petra and Saffer Master review the movie “9-1/2 Weeks” over an Apple Old Fashioned.
“9-1⁄2 Weeks” is a 1986 American erotic romantic drama film directed by Adrian Lyne with a screenplay by Sarah Kernochan, Zalman King and Patricia Louisianna Knop. The film is based on the 1978 memoir of the same name by Austrian-American author Ingeborg Day. It stars Kim Basinger as Elizabeth McGraw and Mickey Rourke as John Gray. McGraw is a New York City art gallery employee who has a brief yet intense affair with a mysterious Wall Street broker. The film was completed in 1984, but did not get released until February 1986.
Considered too explicit by its American distributor, the film was heavily edited for release in the United States, where it was a box office bomb, grossing $6.7 million on a $17 million budget. It also received mixed reviews at the time of its release. However, it became a huge success internationally in its unedited version, particularly in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, making $100 million worldwide. It has also acquired a large fanbase on video and DVD and has developed a cult following.

💌PODCAST LISTENER’S FEEDBACK💌
- “Just listened to this episode and found it very interesting. Like you I saw the movie years ago, long before I entered into the lifestyle seriously. It was sexy and titillating but, like you, I missed a lot and glazed over other parts. Thank you for the review and the episode.” SrStephen (September 23rd, 2020; S1 E154) c/o “Kinky Cocktail Hour” podcast
