Bloodhounds Of Broadway

This film, which incorporates the plots of four Damon Runyon stories, takes place in and around a grand New Year's Eve party in 1928. The guests, many of whose lives intertwine during the evening, include Harriet (Julie Hagerty), the rich society doll throwing the bash; the aptly named Feet Samuels (Randy Quaid), who is about to sell those body parts to a doctor; and Hortense (Madonna), the ballsy, money-hungry showgirl Feet has a crush on. There's also The Brain (Rutger Hauer), a mob boss with many girlfriends -- who's walking around with a knife in his stomach; Regret (Matt Dillon), so named for his chronic inability to pick a winning racehorse; and many other colorful characters, all of whom will make this one night to remember.

    Not to be confused with the (better) 1952 musical of the same name, this is an adaptation of a collection of short stories by Damon Runyon. Set in New York on New Year's Eve, 1928, it traces the ins and outs of a group of Mafia gangsters and their molls. Madonna, Jennifer Grey, Matt Dillon, Randy Quaid and Rutger Hauer star, but even their combined efforts fail to make Howard Brookner's film anything more than a lacklustre amalgam of tales and cabaret. Compared to The Cotton Club, it's paste to a Tiffany diamond.
