The animal side of the actor comes to the fore in most scenes, though a pathetic vulnerability, not very convincing I might add, shows up in the late stages of his performance. Lauren Hutton does fine work as Kay's knight in flimsy clothing Michelle Stratton and Nina Van Pallandt is ice cold as Julian's Madam mentor. Hector Elizondo offers excellent off-beat support in the role of Detective Sunday. He's really got a way with clothes. There's lots of grain in the long shots of American Gigolo and this anamorphic transfer from Paramount does a good job of minimizing any choppiness in it.
Colors are bright and contrast is excellent.
Several scenes are slightly soft and there are a couple of errant scratches and dust showing up on the screen elements. This month's featured star is Humphrey Bogart . They may be judgmental, but that's the point, isn't it. Lots of DVD reviews plus news and more. Click on the link to visit the judge's chambers.
