[SkyShowtime] It may be a little too stuck in its time, but the portrayal of this seducer in an artificial background is one of the best portrayals of loneliness ever made. Michelle's dependency on Julian is just as desperate as Julian's on Michelle (something David Hollander's series, by the way, doesn't adequately explore). And Richard Gere's "nice to meet himself" attitude works, this time, in the film's favor.

This, IMHO, is one of the most stylish movies outside of the James Bond franchise. Peak Richard Gere. I don't think he ever looked this good in a movie since. His suits and general aesthetic is classic elegance and style. Of course the dude drives a Mercedes SL. I mean what other car can complete the look? Even the interior decor of sets (houses, restaurants etc.) look well curated and put together. They haven't left out the extras either. They are all well dressed and groomed. I wonder what the wardrobe and styling budget was for this movie back then? Either way, I'm glad I finally watched it today.

A stylish 80s movie about a gig Ali to the rich who is set up in a murder. Nice seeing Richard Gere in his prime. Movie was soft compared to today’s standards but it was well made. A good watch.
