Man, if God could have only cryogenically frozen Richard Gere after he wrapped this film. Real talk, the guy is on FIRE! My computer nearly exploded while getting these stills but I did it for you, the people. Gere plays Julian Kaye (Julie to his clients) a polished and popular gigolo giving pleasure to older rich ladies and freaky housewives. He coos lines such as this: “Hello Judy. You’re a very sexy lady. Very good looking lady. You’ll like me, I can tell. ‘Cause I like you.” (Oh, I think you know what happens next.) Seriously can someone R.Kelly drop a beat to this?! I think we’ve got a hit on our hands! Your welcome.

Most of the film consists of scenes of Julian’s lavish lifestyle: living in a suite at the Beverly Hills hotel, dining at the best restaurants, having more power suits and tacky ties than a guy needs (Isn’t he naked like 90% of the time anyways?) etc. You’re thinking “Maybe I could be a gigolo…” and then they throw in this whole sub-plot about a trick being murdered and you’re like “Nah.” Enter a corny detective and some other forgettable characters to round out the film… But, who cares about them? It’s all about Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton being two PYT’s in luv with an instrumental version of Blondie’s Call Me playing in the background.
