We bought this movie used at a local music store. The opening scenes of Manhattan were captivating, but then within the first 10 minutes of the movie, we learned that a main character is a child rapist and his friend is a cheater. We took it back.

Chapter 1: He adored New York city, he idolised it all out of proportion...emm, no, make that: "he romanticized it all out of proportion". Yeah. To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin... Ammmm...no, let me start this over. Chapter 1: He was too romantic about Manhattan, as he was about everything else. He thrived on the hustle, bustle of the crowds and the traffic. To him New York meant beautiful women and street-smart guys who seemed to know all the angles... Ahh...corny, too corny for a man of my taste. Let me try and make it more profound. Chapter 1: He adored New York city; to him it was a metaphor for the decay of contemporary culture. The same lack of integrity to cause so many people to take the easy way out was rapidly turning the town of his dreams... No, no, it's gonna be too preachy. I mean, yeah, let's face it, I wanna sell some books here. Chapter 1: He adored New York city, although to him it was a metaphor for the decay of contemporary culture. How hard it was to exist in a society desensitised by drugs, loud music, television, crime, garbage!... Hmm, too angry, I don't wanna be angry... Chapter 1: He was as tough and romantic as the city he loved. Behind his black-rimmed glasses was the coiled sexual power of a jungle cat...I love this! New York was his town and it always would be.

Brings back a lot of memories... Back in the mid 1960s I was playing lead guitar for The Sinners and we shared the stage a few times with The Stingrays. Those were the days! Frat dances at the KofC hall in Welland and of course the Morgan's Point Dance Hall which was THE jump and jive place during the summer!
