About this Movie
Movie Description
Richard Gere is Julian Kay, a slick emotionally and spiritually deprived L.A. hustler in AMERICAN GIGOLO. While servicing an upscale clientele in the Hollywood area, he becomes involved with a rich senator's wife (Lauren Hutton), their relationship extending beyond Julian's normal encounters. Little does he know he is about to be framed for murder, forcing him to rely on alibis from Madame Anne (Nina Van Pallandt), a crooked pimp (Bill Duke), or the senator's wife herself. A stylishly sleazy look at moral decay and redemption, director Paul Schrader combines a European cinematic sensibility with his usual themes of moral drift and emotional alienation in this vivid portrait of early 1980s chic Hollywood decadence.

Credits
Cast:Richard Gere
Director:Paul Schrader

Synopsis
An escort for hire becomes framed for murder and needs his secret lover, wife of a noted politician, to provide his alibi.

Film Notes
Theatrical Release: February 8, 1980.

AMERICAN GIGOLO is very losely based on French director Robert Bresson's PICKPOCKET.

The film was originally developed for John Travolta, who backed out of the project.
At the time of its released, much was made over Richard Gere's full-frontal nudity scene.

The film catapulted the little-known Gere into stardom.

Industry Reviews
"...Gere [gives] a seductively low-key performance....One of his best films..." -- Rating:B+
Entertainment Weekly - pp.88-9 - Bruce Fretts

"...A hot subject....A cool style....Gere is notably convincing in look and manner..."
Variety - Cart.

Quotations
"My God, it's taken me so long to come to you."--Julian (Richard Gere) to Michelle (Lauren Hutton)
