 village voice > news > In the new film Secretary, James Spader plays a lawyer with a thing for spanking. Dennis Lim ...
Spader, whose latest film, the sadomasochistic office romance Secretary, opens September 20, began his career with a colorful gallery of Brat Pack reprobates (Less Than Zero, Pretty in Pink) and went on to corner the market on yuppie malfeasance (Wall Street, Wolf).

Spader hastens to point out that Secretary (based on a Mary Gaitskill novella) is, at heart, one of the most conventional love stories he's worked on—perhaps his most romantic movie since the steamy White Palace (where his young widower was summarily devoured by predatory older woman Susan Sarandon).
