The Cotton Club

Starring: Richard Gere, Gregory Hines,
Diane Lane, Lonette McKee
Director: Francis Coppola

1928, New York. Spirits are high and sultry jazz, lively dancing and ruthless gangsters rule supreme. In the center of it all is Harlem's Cotton Club, where rich upper eastsiders mix with dressed up mobsters. Playing on the stage is gifted cornet player Dixie Dwyer (Gere) who drams of the big time, but he's too mixed up with club owner Owney Madden (Hoskins) - and Owney's sexy moll Vera Gicero (Lane) - to get anywhere fast. Add the frustration of tap sensation Sandman Williams (Hines), who, because of the club's strict rules, can't touch his girl, the lovely lounge singer Lila Rose Oliver (Lonette McKee), and you've got a short fuse ready to go. As tensions rise, so do tempers and the legendary nightclub becomes a pressure cooker of jilted loves and mob jobs that blow the lid off one of the most shocking showdowns ever staged.
