United States

Julian Kay (Richard Gere) is special. Boyish and sensual, he is on the prowl, looking for a trick, a companion, someone to please. He speaks five or six languages, and he might be a chauffeur for a wealthy middle-aged matron or a translator for the lonely wife of an executive. He is the AMERICAN GIGOLO. International model Lauren Hutton plays the dutiful, decent wife of a state senator with whom Julian slowly falls in love. But when a murder is committed in Palm Springs and missing jewels are planted in his car, Julian's alibi doesn't check out. Someone is trying to frame Julian for murder.
