Just a Gigolo (1978)
8/10
Star in German Film "Just A Gigolo"Kim Novak, Marlene Dietrich, Maria Schell and David Bowie

Kim Novak a great International Movie Star starred in a series of "lost films" at the end of her career, "Just A Gigilo" "The Children" and "Liebestraum" all were just either not released in the USA or tossed and forgotten. A shame because all 3 films deserve to be seen to evaluate Novak's acting. Kim Novak was a great star with Picnic, Vertigo, Bell Book And Candle etc. Novak's last major release was the great Mirror Crack'd with Rock Hudson, Anela Lansburg and trading wicked barbs with a true peer the great Elizabeth Taylor.

This film was shot in Germany and David Bowie is the star with Maria Schell who starred with Glenn Ford in "Cimmarron" and a small unforgettable cameo by Marlene Dietrich who sings the title song. This film as I said was shot in Germany but Dietrich's scenes were shot on a. Soundstage in Paris. That is called clout. Kim Novak is a always professional in a small role.

This film should be seen only to see real stars like Kim Novak and Marlene Dietrich.
