Where to stream American Gigolo starring Richard Gere

The 1980 film American Gigolo has been in the news recently, and that’s because a reimagined series of the neo-noir is coming to Showtime with a new cast!

But, of course, we all can’t forget the original production starring Richard Gere. The movie from over 40 years ago helped establish the actor as a leading man. Now he’s one of the most recognizable celebrities in Hollywood.

The crime drama follows gigolo, Julian Kay (Gere). He asks for high prices for his services and is living a lavish and emotionally unattached lifestyle. The escort is assigned to service Mr. Rheiman and his wife, Judy. When she’s found dead Julian is the prime suspect, though he didn’t actually do it. During all of this, he’s also in a relationship with Michelle, a prominent politician’s wife.

So much drama! If you haven’t seen the movie or are ready for a rewatch, then here’s where you can find American Gigolo online.
