ABOUT THE FILM:
Ben Gazzara gave one of his most happy-go-lucky turns in Peter Bogdanovich’s SAINT JACK, the tale of American hustler “Saint Jack” Flowers whose chaotic business is to “satisfy the needs” of visiting businessmen in Vietnam War-era Singapore. Gazzara plays Flowers as a breezy Fitzcarraldo type, a man preternaturally driven towards delivering the classiest brothel and the absolute best in carnal pleasures to GIs, ex-pats and other wayward souls lost amongst southeast Asia. Based upon the novel by Paul Theroux, SAINT JACK marked the first of several critical comebacks for Bogdanovich. In a humanist return to form matching THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, the filmmaker gives Gazzara room to ride the line between savvy, charismatic huckster and moralistic citizen of the world.
