STARRING! "Golden Globe Winner Peter Gallagher"
"Emmy Nominee, Ally McBeal Principal - Laura Flynn Boyle" "John Spencer of the West Wing"
- and many more...
A stylish dramatization of the lurid true-life travails of a wealthy Manhattan gadabout whose
Alliances with pimps and lowlife make him the target of the gossip press when a preferred
Nightclub proves to be a front for call girls -- including the mysterious beauty he's enamored of.
The feature debut of De Felitta, winner of an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short (for "Bronx
Cheers").
Mickey Jelke (Frank Whaley) is a young playboy about to inherit five million dollars from his
Grandfather’s margarine fortune. However, rather than mingle with his family's society friends,
Mickey chooses to spend his evenings out on the town with lowlife types: pimps, prostitutes and
Broadway characters whose company he prefers. When sleazy cop Jack Kale (Peter Gallagher) SAG and golden globe winner, finds
out that a big time prostitution ring may be operating out of Mickey's favorite nightclubs, he
looks for a sucker to pin a scandal on, and comes up with Mickey.
His efforts are aided by the
fact that Jelke had recently begun an affair with a beautiful young woman, Lara Flynn Boyle ( Men in Black II, Waynes World and nominated for Primetime Emmy) whose background is
dubious and who will go to any lengths - including prostituting herself - to stay in the upper
classes with Mickey. Tragedy results when the scandal breaks - no one's life will be the same
again.
