50 What was Anne's original reaction to the movie of EtoE?
Last year, Anne said that she felt that the script stayed
very close to the heart of her book and that the movie would
be an accurate telling of the ideas behind it.
qq Did that give you a good laugh?
Yes it did.
qq What does Anne say now?
Anne now admits that she should have asked more questions
when Garry Marshall approached her about the idea. She does
hope, though, that Garry's "mainstreaming" of the story will
help to bring the idea of S&M as an acceptable lifestyle to
the public eye.
qq So the movie is not like the book?
To paraphrase a line from MST3K, EtoE the movie is based on
EtoE the book in that they were both written in English.
qq Well, I'd still be interested to know who does what in the movie, could you tell me that?
Sure!
