Cafe Society Directed by Raymond De Felitta, 1995

A stylish dramatization of the lurid true-life travails of a wealthy Manhattan gadabout. When a preferred nightclub proves to be a front for call girls–including the mysterious beauty he’s enamored of–his dalliances with pimps and lowlifes make him the target of the gossip press. This is the feature debut of filmmaker De Felitta, who won an Academy Award for his short film, “Bronx Cheers.”
