There love affair becomes more and more heated, and King’s relationship with Larry is only getting worse. King decides to work on her marriage with Larry, causing Marilyn to get jealous. Marilyn starts getting needy, jealous, and controlling. When King decides to go on a romantic date with Larry, Chloe freaks out because she has left everything for Billy. She keeps saying how she doesn’t love him like she loves her. She tells Billy “Stay home with more, or I’m leaving.” Billy calls her ridiculous and goes on her date. When Billy and Larry are making love Marilyn hears them in the other room, with a look of jealousy on her face. Marilyn gets worse and worse and can’t stand seeing Larry and Billy together. She confronts Billy about it, and Billy asks her to leave. She starts to see the jealous, needy side of her. Marilyn refuses, but than leaves. Once Marilyn is out of the picture Billy tries to focus on saving her marriage with Larry. She knows that their marriage is a lie, because she loves woman, not men anymore. Their marriage slowly falls apart as Larry notices how little time they spend alone together, and Billy focuses on improving women’s tennis. Once Billy’s tennis career is coming to an end, Marilyn re-enters the picture. She tells reporter about the lesbian love affair that happened. The press eats the story up. Billy confronts Marilyn again, and everything starts to unravel. Larry stays by Billy’s side, and goes to talk to Marilyn. As the argument gets heated Marilyn yells “It’s nice of you to stand by your wife when she needs it, but one question, where was she when you needed her? Oh right, she was in my bed. I’ve heard you make love, the passion doesn’t even compare to ours.” Larry can’t believe what he hears. Billy and Larry never speak to Marilyn again, and Billy only grows. Larry and Billy get a divorce, and Billy becomes a lesbian but they always remain good friends.
What the press would say:
“Kate Winslet and Chloe Sevigny shine in The Secrets We Keep. Woody Allen does it again, showing the twisted love triangle of one of the most iconic athletes of all time. The cinematography matches the era perfectly, and you can see than Woody Allen put his heart and soul into the project. Sevigny takes this film and runs away with it as the twisted, and needy Marilyn. Winslet again impresses all, playing the iconic tennis legend Billy Jean King. Hawke gives his best performance to date playing the husband that stood by his Wife through one of the worst times. This movie is filled with action, romance, and passion. You are intrigued from beginning to end. Never have I seen a more interesting love triangle. At first you may think it is not the way Billy Jean King should be shown, but it respects her, and still tells this gripping story. It has you on the edge of your seat as the drama gets stronger and stronger, a classic film by Woody Allen, and nominated for 9 Academy Awards including:
Best Picture: The Secrets We Keep
Best Director: Woody Allen
Best O. Screenplay: Woody Allen
Best Actress: Kate Winslet
