Intriguing but seems very dated now - American Gigolo review by PO
The film was less of a thriller and the ending a disappointing surprise. A film I'd never seen but heard lots about and now I've seen it I don't need to see it again!
Sound on this was awful, but the story was ok. Richard Gere has aged very well!

Fails to reach top GERE - American Gigolo review by Spoons
American Gigolo plods along at a slow pace to the point where it almost becomes boring. Only the performances of Gere and Hutton kept me watching and hoping that the film would suddenly start to engage me, which it does to a certain extent. Overall a rather dull affair enhanced slightly by Georgio Moroder's soundtrack.
