	Alan Rickman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His casting as Le Vicomte de Valmont won him critical and popular acclaim as the elegant and heartless seducer.
		While playing romantic leads in British movies (Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility and Truly, Madly, Deeply), he was generally typecast in Hollywood movies as an over-the-top villain (German terrorist Hans Gruber in Die Hard and the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves).
		And even directing The Winter Guest at London's Almeida Theatre in 1995 (of which he also directed the film version in 1996 starring Emma Thompson and her real life mother Phyllida Law).

		Her ploy is devilishly simple and spiteful: She conspires with her former lover, Valmont, to seduce the innocent young bride so depriving the girl’s suitor of the privilege of marrying a virgin.
		But when the brazen Valmont turns his sights on yet another intended conquest both he and the Marquise are fated to discover the true pain and ruin that true love is cable of wreaking.

		Valmont who has signed an alliance with a widow, de Merteuil, to conquer and enjoy any person of their respective opposite sexes no matter what the consequences may be.
		That is the great shortcoming of the film that becomes innocuous since it neglects what made the success of the novel at the time (1782) : the terrible message of an apocalyptic end coming up soon.
		The whole DL vs Valmont debacle serves to remind me that there is just no accounting for taste and popularity.

		"Valmont" is one of my favorite films of all time.
		But Milos Forman decides not to point in that direction, and even to be very careful not to let one single hint go through.
		I wish they had released this right after it was made instead of allowing DL to take all the limelight.

		Pictorial fl cloth stamped in orange and white featuring the debonair figure of Valmont in top hat with walking stick and cigarette.
		The truth is deeper: What Robert Barr intended was a satirization of the nationalistic differences between French and English police systems and, as such, the book is a trenchant, if generally unrecognized, tour de force.
		Somewhat of a cult horror novel by the authors who scripted the films Vertigo and Les Diaboliques.
