American Gigolo - Vintage Movie Posters

"His business is pleasure !" After the huge success in 1982 for the Oscar winning "An Officer and a Gentleman", Richard Gere was a global superstar and the most bankable male actor at the box office. Paramount Pictures were quick to exploit his success and re-released (even though it was only originally released in 1980) Paul Schrader's "American Gigolo" with the knowing tagline... "In American Gigolo Richard Gere is neither an Officer nor a Gentleman" which was adapted to run alongside the familiar imagery of the original 1980 UK quad film poster. Rare in this style, it is actually a very effective design. Originally folded (as issued) this unrestored example presents and displays very well and represents a highly desirable piece of original movie memorabilia for one of the most stylish films of the 80's. TRIVIA...This movie represented the Hollywood breakthrough of leading clothes designer GIORGIO ARMANI who provided the stylish clothes for Richard Gere's well dressed male escort. "When Smokey Sings" the hit 1987 song by ABC was inspired by the scene in the movie where Richard Gere is seen meticulously choosing what clothes to wear out.
