(1980)Directed by Paul Schrader117 min · RCrime, Drama, Mystery
“He's the highest paid lover in Beverly Hills. He leaves women feeling more alive than they've ever felt before. Except one.”

Julian Kaye (Richard Gere) earns a very good living as an escort to older women around Los Angeles, until one of his clients turns up murdered and Detective Sunday (Héctor Elizondo) starts asking about the others. Paul Schrader follows him as he begins a relationship with Michelle Stratton (Lauren Hutton), a politician's wife, for no payment at all. Julian suspects he is being framed, and her love may be all he has to set against it.
