Welcome to the Cotton Club, where crime lords rub shoulders with the rich and famous. Director, Francis Ford Coppola and co-writers, William Kennedy and The Godfather's Mario Puzo create a panorama of love, crime and entertainment centred on the legendary Harlem Nightclub owned by Owney Madden (Bob Hoskins). Comet player Dixie Dwyer (Richard Gere) gets a job in Harlem's famous Cotton Club, while his brother gets a job as Dutch Schultz's (James Remar) bodyguard. Dwyer falls for Schultz's mistress Vera Cicero (Diane Lane) and finds himself caught in the middle of mobster rivalry in this stylish gangster film. (Umbrella Entertainment)
