That stepsister is Kathryn Merteuil (Sarah
Michelle Gellar), who resides in Manhattan's uppercrust. Angered when
her boyfriend Court Reynolds dumps her for the innocent Cecile (Selma
Blair), she places a bet with her stepbrother Sebastian Valmont (Ryan
Phillippe). His job is to deflower Cecile and turn her into a tramp ...
therefore humiliating Court for choosing her.
Sebastian is a ruthless playboy that has "had"
all the girls in New York City, or as so he thinks. After Kathryn
challenges him to take Cecile, he not only agrees to that, he goes
further to try the deflower the new headmaster's daugher, the
virginal Annette Hargrove, before the school year begins. If Kathryn
wins the bet (If Sebastian does not succeed), she receives Sebastian's
hot car. If Sebastian wins, then he gets the one girl that had seemed
impossible: Kathryn.
Additional roles in this film include Joshua
Jackson's portrayal of the homosexual character Blain Tuttle; Sean
Patrick Thomas as Ronald Clifford; Christine Baranski as Cecile's
mother, Mrs. Caldwell; Swoosie Kurtz, who appeared in another past
adaption of the French novel, Dangerous Liaisons, as Dr.
Greenbaum; Louise Fletcher playing "Aunt Helen"; and Eric Mabius
portraying Greg McConnell.
