Any movie buffs out there?

I’ve been trying to find a movie that I saw a million years ago.

I *think* it had Alec Baldwin and Michelle Pfeiffer in it. Though I could be so wrong on both of those actors. And I think Michelle Pfeiffer played a dual role, playing her own twin who was in prison and they did an escape/switch so the one could kill Alec Baldwin.

I think there was one scene where Alec Baldwin was on his way home in the middle of the night and had called home with a very precise list of what he wanted her to have cooked, what she should be wearing, etc. And I seem to recall a rather steamy bathroom/sex scene where she did a little strip tease.

Sound familiar to anyone?

EDIT::::

It might be Final Analysis. It could be that I’m remembering two different movies and am mixing the two plots together, too. The abusive husband angle fits for sure, as does the lighthouse scene that seems vaguely familiar. But I am positive, for sure positive, about the woman playing dual roles and switching places with her “twin” in prison. The point of that, if I’m not mistaken, was so the murder would be gotten away with. (How could the twin do it when she was locked up kinda plan) I *think* the husband didnt know the twin existed. Or something. I don’t think Basinger and Thurman look enough alike to have played the twins that I wouldn’t remember it being two different woman in the role.

I sure can’t find it though. I’ll have to pick up a copy of Final Analysis to see how much that fits and where I’m mixing up plots. What makes the movie stick out in my mind was the clear domination/submission role between the husband and wife. Especially the scene where he called home and gave that precise list to her.

Bah.

Does letting go of the expectation also mean letting go of the desire?

How do you lose one without losing the other?
