Trivia
John Malkovich, who played the Vicomte de Valmont in this movie version of Christopher Hampton's play, directed a 2012 French-language production of the Hampton play for the Parisian company Théâtre de l'Atelier. When it later toured the US, it was presented in French with English supertitles (even thought Hampton wrote his play in English).

Goofs
In Madame de Rosemonde's garden, Valmont sits behind Madame de Tourvel and asks "Why are you so angry with me?" The camera then cuts to a close-up of Tourvel's face, and Valmont is sitting much closer behind her.

Quotes
Vicomte de Valmont: It's beyond my control.
Share this
Vicomte de Valmont: You see, I have no intention of breaking down her prejudices. I want her to believe in God and virtue and the sanctity of marriage, and still not be able to stop herself. I want the excitement of watching her betray everything that's is most important to her. Surely you understand that. I thought betrayal was your favorite word.
