The film's release in territories such as UK was deliberately delayed to allow time to pass following the release of Le relazioni pericolose (1988). According to Christopher Hampton, the screenwriter of "Dangerous Liaisons," Milos Forman attended several performances of his play, "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," in London, and decided to film his own version of the Choderlos de Laclos novel. The competing production prompted Lorimar Films to rush "Dangerous Liaisons" into production, in order to beat "Valmont" into theaters. It worked, and "Dangerous Liaisons" was a critical and moderate box office success, while "Valmont" received mixed reviews and was a box office failure.
