There are some actors who simply command the screen whenever they are seen. Richard Gere is one of those actors. No matter what the role, I can't help but be entranced. American Gigolo. From the beginnng where we see Julian during a typical day, to his exercising from the ceiling, to his inital meeting with Lauren Hutton's character, you know this is going to be fun---if you just relax and enjoy it. I saw this in a theatre a looooong time ago, and just watched it again. Giorgio Moroder's music and Blondie add special touches. This film has a permanent place is my guilty pleasure film library.
