Plot and story line information for Trap, The

Shot a year or so before Fatal Attraction and boasting an all-but identical plot, this deliciously sleazy little Euro-gem is everything the US blockbuster is not. Elegant, erotic, an eerily intelligent study of passion thwarted and love betrayed.

Mercifully, La Gabbia eschews the coarse misogyny of the Hollywood hit. Its philandering 'hero' (Tony Musante) is an unmitigated slimeball, and the rage of his discarded mistress (Laura Antonelli) strikes us as wholly justified, albeit a tad extreme. This refined and glamorous lady might not stoop to anything so crass as boiling a pet rabbit - but she does truss him up in chains, slash him with a razor and smear him (wastefully, I feel) with a tureen of the finest red caviar. Soon enough, her nubile teenage daughter (Blanca Marsillach) decides she wants a piece of the action too. Far be it from us to guess who her real father is..
