I can't help but think this was also at play here. Comments I have seen in other forums, about the films' hedonistic theme, suggest a negative view of it even after all these years. This film, along with Full Circle, aka The Haunting Of Julia, ( also from 1977) still linger in the MIA bin, despite their star power and loyal audiences.

It also shows that there can be serious consequences when we make obviously poor decisions based on hedonism. Throw in the fact that it's based on a true story and LGBT has steam coming out it's ears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566408705248423573.post-90870726029036940702017-09-27T19:25:42.170-04:002017-09-27T19:25:42.170-04:00Politics may also be involved, mainly involving fe...Politics may also be involved, mainly involving feminist and gay advocacy concerns. Keaton's comments concerning the film tend to be non-committal, Gere did not want any clips from the film included in a career retrospective, and Atherton has recently criticized the film's view of the "single's scene." None of the major players want to "own it," and I think Paramount is bending under those pressures.Mark W.

Again, the problem here seems to be Tangerine Dream's musical score, for which Paramount -once again- seems reluctant to pay for. Sad... but very in-synch with this studio that couldn't even give us a decent, correct ratio, fully unrated, maybe even collector's edition of "Sliver" with the original movie cut (which is about 60% different from what we've seen) thrown in... They simply have no interest in giving us movie buffs what we would gladly fork out good green bucks for. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04750906909858977140noreply@blogger.com
