Fading Gigolo


 
 
 
Jean, This is a gentle comedy, very gentle. (There are not a lot of laughs.) It was written and directed by John Turturro, but Woody Allen acts in many, many of the scenes.The story revolves around of Woody coming up with the idea of having his former employee works as a high priced male prostitute in Manhattan. It also stars some glamour girls like Sharon Stone and others . There is a lot of ethnic society customs shown, mostly hasidic Jewish rabbis. If one is interested in a convoluted story line, acted out in the ethnic neighborhoods of Manhattan, then this is their movie. Look for more social commentary from Woody in his stuttering , stand-up comedy  manner, but more pedantic than humorous.  Dad

The previews were:

Wish I was Here
Palo Alto
The Most Wanted Man
The Immigrant
