Both cover and rating were wholly misleading
publicity fillips for the movie, which isn't glamorous or gory, or even pornographic: the
shots of Williams's Cindy being
taken from behind by one boyfriend and receiving oral sex from another - Gosling's Dean, with whom she's newly in love - are inexplicit and more functional than erotic.
The stunning photographs that the owners
took of their cats, particularly
shots of them swimming, gained a lot of
publicity, but this cut no ice with the feline associations.
