    It's a bit over the top (the acting, the dialogue) in places, maybe even cheesy. It also gets a bit muddled in the middle. It all comes together very nicely, though, in a final number that predicts Chicago, also with Gere, sixteen years later. Great fun.

    Period piece that is a little off but entertaining for Gere fans. Gere fans should watch it at least once.

    Inspired from the days of the famous Harlem Club, this is the opportunity from Coppola to do his take on the Prohibition era, as well as an homage to the gangster movie, especially the ones coming from Warner. Didn't quite like Richard Gere in the lead, though...

    Wasn't all that enamoured with this movie and I was a Gregory Hines fan. Just didnt do anything for me.

    This has a bad rap as one of the biggest failures ever, but I enjoyed it. Fred Gwynne was in it, too, and Gwen Verdon.

    Not exactly something I'd like to watch again and again, but entertaining. All dull moments somehow made up for.
