I’ve met a couple of people who think they are the centre of the universe and the rest of us are just keeping it clean. It only takes a moment to realize that they are self-absorbed with too little sense of how others interact in the surrounding world. But Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) may be the centre of her own solar system, at the very least. Dr. Michael Glass (David Morrissey) has followed her to a seedy part of London, watches her pick up a rough rent-boy, sees her manhandled into a building and follows. He ends up on the roof, looking through a sky light. Below he sees Catherine engaged in carnal relations while she is relaxing to the bouncing rhythm of her enthusiastic partner and meeting the doctor’s gaze through the window.

Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) is a vixen of the first stripe. She’ll flirt with anything that walks, she doesn’t hesitate to do that which pleases her and she won’t take prisoners when confronted with anything she thinks is standing in her way. She makes my heart go pitty-pat. Especially after she agrees to go to police headquarters to be interviewed about the murder of Johnny Boz (Bill Cable). Her manner as well as her body language had me as anxious and uncomfortable as her interrogators.
