CGiii Comment

The message is quite clear: Straight male hustlers are fantastic people...but, gay male hustlers are lowlife bastards.

Thank you for that...oooh, and, I'll f&*k anyone, anything to save my own skin.

Not the most intellectual film ever made - pretty damn awful if the truth be known.

But...it did propel Gere into that starry stratosphere.


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Julian makes a lucrative living as an escort to older women in the Los Angeles area. He begins a relationship with Michelle, a local politician's wife, without expecting any pay. One of his clients is murdered and Detective Sunday begins pumping him for details on his different clients, something he is reluctant to do considering the nature of his work. Julian begins to suspect he's being framed. Meanwhile Michelle begins to fall in love with him.
