Missed plot twist[edit]

This was subtle, but it's part of the movie. The reason Madame de Volanges knows not to trust Valmont is that Cecile is his daughter. This is revealed in one pointed sentence in her conversation with him near the end of the movie. 76.247.183.10 (talk) 22:34, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to article[edit]

I expanded the article and removed the stub tag. I also rearrenged the original text and changed a few remarks for a more NPOV formulation. VladMV ٭ ^talk 01:48, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Run-on sentence: "While steadily targeting his main prey, Madame de Tourvel though realizing the prey she has become to Valmont eventually gives in because of tireless advantages into saying he loves her." Can someone re-write it? I can't make sense of it. --Pizzadeliverator 04:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More adaptation information[edit]

I can't spend the time right now to merge the following information into the article; have a go if you like. —Chidom ^talk 06:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The novel has been adapted many times before; some adaptations are based on the play by Christopher Hampton which is based on the novel. Les Liaisons Dangereuses was a 1959 French film adaptation directed by Roger Vadim; in 1988, director Stephen Frears released his adaptation, Dangerous Liaisons. Another adaptation, directed by Miloš Forman with a screenplay by Jean-Claude Carrière, was titled Valmont (after the character Valmont in the novel) and released in 1989. Roger Kumble directed a 1999 film version, titled Cruel Intentions; a Korean adaptation, Uiheomhan gwangye (literal English title: Dangerous Liaison), directed by Young Nam Ko with writing credits to Yeol Yu, was released in 1970.^[1] Untold Scandal, directed by Lee Je Yong and released in 2003, was another Korean adaptation set in 18th century-Korea, the original timeframe of the novel.^[2] ^[3]

A television production, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, directed by Claude Barma, aired in 1980.^[4] In 2003, the novel was adapted as a miniseries directed by Josée Dayan; the story was moved forward in time into the world of Parisian high society of the 1960s.^[5] ^[6]
