DescriptionIt's 1998 and Gwyneth Paltrow has just dropped her earring.

She's in a lift, rushing for a train.

In one version of what happens next, the dropped earring means she misses the train and spends months trapped in a dysfunctional relationship.

In a second version she makes the train, discovers her boyfriend's cheating and meets her true love.

That is, of course, the plot (or, more accurately, plots) of the rom-com classic Sliding Doors.

And it's the movie Labor insiders are comparing to their shock defeat at last month's federal election.
