  Interesting movie...period piece of WHY NOT to live in New York 1980. Gena is great, great, loved how she does the "cowboy" shoot-down with the mob. This is 1980 and in reality no woman is empowered, much less to act like Clint Eastwood. Her role is unique for the time and she totally carries the movie.I wish TCM would write up a detail plot line--- seen it three times and still have questions... or maybe plot was always casual. If Cassavetes did not see the value of this movie, too bad...think of what would Martin Scorsese could make of this movie !!

  I loved this movie..Rowlands is truly a gift to the filmlover. One thing that's bothered me since I first saw it is Rowlands wardrobe consists of one dress in many fabrics and colors... was this to suggest that she remained the same tough babe throughout the story? Any thoughts?

  Loved how the city became a partner in the movie. And, dang, Gena Rowlands is one hot looking woman for 50! Ah! I think she still is!

  I must admist I am biased, Before Gloria- if you asked me to name my favourite Cassavetes' endeavor my answer would be "all of them" with the same response to my favourite Rowlands' performance under his direction. I normally don't pay attention to child actors, but little Phil broke my heart - and like Gloria, I am a cat owner who is not particuarly crazy about kids. Rowland weaves an exquisite tapestry of beauty, strength and vulnerability into a performance that should have garnered more than Academy Award and Golden Globe Nominations. I can't recall how many times I have seen "Gloria", I never grow tired of this masterpce. While I am usually very stingy with my tears, Kleenix owes this one big time for my patronage -Marnie Howell
