9 1/2 Weeks
9 1/2 WEEKS. 1986 American erotic drama film directed by Adrian Lyne. It starred 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. Considered too explicit by its American distributor and then cut for its US release, the film was a box office flop in the USA (grossing only $6.7 million USD) on a $17 million budget. It also received mixed reviews at the time of its release. However it later became a huge success internationally (in its unedited version) particularly in Australia / Canada and the United Kingdom, making over $100 million worldwide.
