Summary

Comedy drama based on stories by Damon Runyon, starring Madonna, Matt Dillon and Randy Quaid. New York City, 1928: as the year comes to an end, a colourful group of characters battle to make sense of their crazy, mixed-up lives. A destitute gambler considers extreme measures to clear his debts, the victim of a stabbing searches for a blood donor, and a high-society girl mourns the loss of a parrot.

Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Lorien Haynes

Not to be confused with the (better) 1952 musical of the same name, this is an adaptation of a collection of short stories by Damon Runyon. Set in New York on New Year's Eve, 1928, it traces the ins and outs of a group of Mafia gangsters and their molls. Madonna, Jennifer Grey, Matt Dillon, Randy Quaid and Rutger Hauer star, but even their combined efforts fail to make Howard Brookner's film anything more than a lacklustre amalgam of tales and cabaret. Compared to The Cotton Club, it's paste to a Tiffany diamond.
