On this day, December 16, 1988, Dangerous Liaisons premiered in theaters. Directed by Stephen Frears, this critically acclaimed period drama features an all-star cast, including Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer, Keanu Reeves, Uma Thurman, and Peter Capaldi.

Adapted from the French novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, the film tells a gripping tale of manipulation, seduction, and betrayal set in 18th-century France. Glenn Close and John Malkovich’s standout performances as scheming aristocrats, alongside Michelle Pfeiffer’s heartbreaking portrayal of their victim, earned the film widespread praise. Dangerous Liaisons won three Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction, and Best Costume Design.
