The Cotton Club

Film Description

Coppola revives the show-stopping numbers, pin-striped hoods and bathtub liquor of the classic Warner Brothers programmer in this lively tribute to the Jazz Age which stars stars Richard Gere as Dixie Dwyer, a trumpet player who saves a gangster's life and becomes unwittingly involved in the world of organised crime. Caught between the mobsters and the musicians, Dixie rubs shoulders with the likes of dancer Sandman Williams (Gregory Hines), club owner Owney Madden (Bob Hoskins), and tough guy Frenchy Demange (Fred Gwynne), all the while having a dangerous affair with gangster's moll Vera Cicero (Diane Lane).
