I didn't feel comfortable watching this movie. I found it just didn't age well. Dialogues felt very corny and quite sexist. Not even so much about the prostitution bit, it's Redford's character that I didn't like: macho, patronizing, wealthy smug cliché of a guy. He was very insistent in pursuing Diana, in a very 'I can get whatever I want' attitude. Diana even says : "you collect things " and that idea of objectifying her stays during the whole movie. I hate how she warms up to John and then she gets with him for whatever reason. That normalizes John's behavior because he got the girl. Oh it's okay to be a predator if you're rich, good in bed and handsome. Also, the outbursts of jealousy from the husband and the furious moments from Diana were just a bit too dramatic. The ending was the best part I think, still cheesy but at least watchable. I realize this review is very feminist but I really couldn't focus on anything else as the movie is quite messy. Oh yeah the moral of the story: limits to what money can buy, can it buy love? Well I guess the message didn't get across.
