American Gigolo

“Stylish and surprisingly poignant. The whole movie has a winning sadness about it; take away the story's sensational aspects and what you have is a study in loneliness. Gere’s performance is central to that effect.” –Roger Ebert
1980. USA. Paul Schrader. 117 min. Color. Richard Gere, Lauren Hutton, Hector Elizondo.
A high-priced male prostitute makes a lucrative living as an escort to older women in the Los Angeles area. One of his clients is murdered and a cigar-chomping detective begins pumping him for details on his different clients, something he is reluctant to do considering the nature of his work and making him suspect he's being framed.
