British-born director AdrianLyne "grew up" professionally in TV commercials, carrying over the quick-cut, hard-sell techniques of that specialized genre into his first film, Foxes (1980).
Alas, it failed to register at the box office, while Lyne's subsequent film, the spell-it-all-out Indecent Proposal (1993) made money by the basketful -- indicating perhaps that, whatever the future holds for AdrianLyne, his choice of film subjects and manner of treatment will be governed less by his personal vision than by popular taste.
By this time no stranger to controversy, Lyne's 1997 interpretation of Lolita raised much public uproar with its intimate scenes between the then 15-year-old Dominique Swain and the considerably older Jeremy Irons (though a body double was used for the more questionable scenes).
