• Forgotten memories of a great movie
  I first saw The Ritz when I was in college back in 1977. I loved the movie then and was thrilled to be able to purchase it from Amazon. I laughed over and over again while watching. Rita Moreno was awesome in this movie and all of the other characters did a great job as well.
  I noticed a couple of actors in the background from more recent roles. The guy from Cheers ( Cliff the mailman ). This is a laugh out loud movie for me and I am sure most would enjoy it as well. If you were just coming out in the... more info

• Off-beat comedy - lots of fun for the broadminded
  Terence McNally's play finds a straight husband hiding out from his murderous brother-in-law in a gay bath-house in NYC. This off-beat comedy has lots of laughs, if you are broad-minded. Filmed in England by Richard Lester, five actors from the original cast recreate their roles - Jack Weston, Jerry Stiller, F. Murray Abraham, Paul B. Price and Rita Moreno who won a Tony Award as the almost talent-less would-be nightclub singer. DVD transfer is fine, in its original widescreen frame. Only extra is a... more info
