The Music Video For "On A Night Like This" Was Directed By Douglas Avery Filmed In Monte Carlo And Was Loosely Based On Martin Scorsese's 1995 Crime Drama Movie Casino With Kylie Herself Portraying A Character Loosely Based On Sharon Stone's Bored Trophy Wife And Blade Runner Actor Rutger Hauer Portraying Her Mob Boss Partner. The Video Starts With A Mob-Related Scene With The Men Speaking In French. The Video Translates With Subtitles "Matters Are Not Handled In This Way/Here In Monte Carlo/Things Are Closely Watched/The Authorities Are Extremely Vigilant/The Things You Ask Of Us/Are Not So Easy". As The Song Starts Minogue Is On A Diving Board Over A Pool She Jumps In With While Wearing An Expensive Versace. After She Sings The Chorus She Undresses Into Her Underwear And Looking At The Mobsters Throws Her Dress Across Towards Their Window. As The Second Verse Starts She Appears In Another Versace Costume With Expensive Diamond Jewellery In A Limousine. As The Chorus Arrives She Appears In A Monte Carlo Casino And Wins Money. She Later Goes Home Where Her Mob Boss Lover Sees Her As She Comes Into The Hallway And Smashes A Green Glass Vase. As The Song Ends She Steps Onto A Porch Undresses Again And He Can Only Stare. The Video Ends With Her Stepping Down From The Porch And Fades To Black. While The Video Enjoyed Moderate Success In Most Of The World It Still Managed To Attract Considerable Controversy. According To Reports By NME The Original Clip Supposedly Contained Scenes That Would Have Resulted In A Mass Banning. The Directors Cut Had Been Noted To Contain Minogue In Full-Frontal Nudity However NME Reported That Plans To Release Such A Music Video Were Scrapped. Despite This The Edited Version Still Turns Heads Thanks To A See-Through Dress Sported By Kylie.
