ABOUT THE FILM: AMERICAN GIGOLO to this day is revered as the greatest summer sartorial inspiration and introduced Italian designer Giorgio Armani to the world. After this, Richard Gere would become THE sex symbol in 1980s America and Armani would go on to build his fashion empire throughout the decade. As Julian tends to clients in wealthy enclaves of the city, so much of iconic LA culture is captured in this film like his Mercedes SL, New West magazine, cruising on PCH, strolling around Westwood Village, mentions of restaurants like Perino’s, La Scala, Le Dome, and so much more.
