Bloodhounds of Broadway

It’s New Year’s Eve, 1928, in New York City, and a wild speakeasy party is the convergence point for an assortment of underworld oddballs, from a gambler (Randy Quaid) on the run from the researchers whom he promised his corpse to a wounded ganglord (Rutger Hauer) looking for help before he bleeds out. The mobsters and molls who populated the prose of writer Damon Runyon come alive in this stylishly crafted comic tale woven from four of his short stories; Matt Dillon, Jennifer Grey, Madonna, Anita Morris, and Julie Hagerty also star. 87 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
