American Gigolo - 3 stars out of 5 stars

Not a great film or even a very good one,BUT a interesting adult themed movie.Richard Gere  play Julian,a male escort,and indeed a very handsome one and Lauren Hutton plays Michelle ,someone who doesn't need one yet they meet and nature takes its course.In a strange tale of murder and secrets we see a seedy underside of the world that really exists.Well maybe,but that's the fun of watching a movie you may have seen before but not from THIS side of the sexual divide.The supporting cast is fine but the film really belongs to the leeds.Released in 1980 and running a bit long at 117 minutes,I took 2 stars off for being dated and a not really new story if it was about"working girls"but that "Blondie"song"Call me"always brings me back.Nice adult film. Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below. 

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. Written by Ed Sutton <esutton@mindspring.com>
