I would even say The Cotton Club, honestly, is a really good film, at least in my opinion.

Allen SalkinHOST
That movie version of 1984 comes out the same day, December 14th, 1984, as The Cotton Club starring Richard Gere.
Allen SalkinHOST
Cotton Club is a flop that loses $30 million and is emblematic of his career troubles at the time.
Allen SalkinHOST
But the dark and complex 1984 starring John Hurt earns a small profit.
Catherine TownsendHOST
Robert needed funding, and Roy desperately wanted to be a movie producer and get Hollywood fame.
Catherine TownsendHOST
Robert Evans at the time was looking for funding for a movie called The Cotton Club.
Catherine TownsendHOST
Roy Radin committed to raising $35 million to finance this movie.

Roy had a stick of dynamite that had blown up in his mouth and a bullet in the back of his head.
Catherine TownsendHOST
In 1992, Karen Greenberger was convicted of kidnapping and second-degree murder in connection with Roy Radin's death and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Catherine TownsendHOST
A hitman she hired and two other co-defendants were also convicted of Roy's first-degree murder, which the press called the Cotton Club murder.
Catherine TownsendHOST
The film, by the way, eventually was produced by Robert Evans and came out in 1984.
JustinHOST
Guest star James Remar, probably best known back in 1985 for his work with director Walter Hill in movies like The Warriors and 48 Hrs., but just prior to guest starring in this episode of Miami Vice, Remar worked with Francis Ford Coppola in this film from 1984.

He did An Officer and a Gentleman in 1982, which is a big movie.
