Saint Jack (1979) -- (Movie Clip) Good Lover Bad Husband Ben Gazzara (the title character, a benevolent American ex-pat pimp in Singapore) takes care of an older friend helping him finance his own new brothel, then has an interview with a prospective professional (Monika Subramanian), in Peter Bogdanovich’s Saint Jack, 1979, with the popular Louis Armstrong recording of Oscar Peterson’s “Basin Street Blues.”

Saint Jack (1979) -- (Movie Clip) Nothing To Do With The Animal At the Singapore airport Ben Gazzara (title character), executing an errand for his Chinese businessman boss, works his contacts and picks up English Leigh (Denholm Elliott), Andrew Chua driving the cab, Peter Bogdanovich directing from the script he co-wrote with novelist Paul Theroux and Howard Sackler, in Saint Jack, 1979.

Alice In The Cities (1974) -- (Movie Clip) Terrible Thing To Waste From the early, solo section of the trip, German freelance author Philip (Rudiger Vogler) making his way from southeast toward New York, where he'll meet the title character, with a visit from Henry Fonda in Young Mr. Lincoln, 1939, in Wim Wenders' Alice In The Cities, 1974.

Alice In The Cities (1974) -- (Movie Clip) She'll Join Us In Amsterdam Newly acquainted German travelers Philip (Rudiger Vogler) and Alice (Yella Rottlander) in Manhattan en route to meet her mother at the Empire State Building, which doesn't work out, thus launching their European journey, in Wim Wenders' Alice In The Cities, 1974.

American Friend, The (1977) -- (Movie Clip) Let Me Love You For Your Money Wild intersections of personages and events, in New York, with Nick Ray as the forger “Derwatt,” Dennis Hopper as Ripley is not quite observed by Samuel Fuller, introduced here, shooting a porno, taking a call about a hit we’ve just seen committed by terminal patient Jonathan (Bruno Ganz)in Paris, who returns to his wife (Liza Kreuzer) and child in Hamburg, in Wim Wenders’ The American Friend, 1977.

American Friend, The (1977) -- (Movie Clip) What's Wrong With A Cowboy In Hamburg? With notes about the restoration, and calm and clever as can be, writer-director Wim Wenders opens his treatment of the unpublished Patricia Highsmith novel, in which he cast directors and actor-directors as the criminals, with Dennis Hopper as Tom Ripley in New York visiting Nicholas Ray as the forger “Derwatt,” in The American Friend, 1977.

American Friend, The (1977) -- (Movie Clip) The Blue's Not Right Bruno Ganz as the Hamburg picture framer Jonathan, with Winter (the American singer David Blue) bidding, and Dennis Hopper quietly as the forgery purveyor (Patricia Highsmith’s “Tom Ripley”), Rudolf Schündler the owner of the house, Stefan Lennert the auctioneer and Lisa Kreuzer as the clerk, Jonathan’s wife, a finely wrought scene from Wim Wenders’ The American Friend, 1977.

American Friend, The (1977) -- (Movie Clip) My German Is Terrible Dennis Hopper in Hamburg as forgery dealer Tom Ripley (the character from a then-unpublished Patricia Highsmith novel) has grown interested in terminally-ill highly-regarded picture framer Jonathan (Bruno Ganz), after an unpleasant first encounter, Gerty Molzen the customer, in Wim Wender’s The American Friend, 1977.
