American Gigolo
Bruckheimer started producing films in the 1970s, after leaving his job in advertising, with director Dick Richards. They had worked together on the films "The Culpepper Cattle Company"; "Farewell, My Lovely"; and "March or Die". Bruckheimer then worked with Paul Schrader on two films, "American Gigolo" and "Cat People", which began to give him notice in Hollywood.
