American Gigolo

Richard Gere stars as a paid escort falsely accused of murdering a wealthy woman, whose only hope of proving his innocence rests with a client reluctant to come forward and supply him with an alibi. Slick, steamy thriller which caused controversy on release, and provides a fascinating insight into morals and motivations. Lauren Hutton and Hector Elizondo number among the supporting cast. Written and directed by Paul Schrader
