Looking for Mr Goodbar (1977) Richard Gere (Tvrip Widescreen)_Ku

aka Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076327/ This film has gained historic value, being one of Richard Gere's very first in a major part as a bipolar, crazy sex-athlete - two years before 'American Gigolo'. But it is really Diane Keaton's film. Based on the novel from 1975 by Judith Rossner, which provoked much discussion, because a woman back then was not supposed to lead a double life as a precious school teacher during the day and a bar-cruiser at night. Also noteworthy for being one of the very first films with Tom Berenger, here as a naked gay transvestite, perhaps regretted later in his career of action films. WARNING: Much nudity and sex, and the plot starts off with harsh social realism until Gere's interesting character enters after 44 minutes. Amazon has promised a proper DVD edition for a long time. Until then, we have so far had only bad VHS fullscreen rips, but I found this old TV rip in my collection and tried to doctor it a little. Much better than VHS, but still not full DVD quality. Colors are a little faded, and sound level a little low. Widescreen TV-rip XviD 2-pass 672x368, original mono sound AC3. Runs well in both my standalone DivX players.

He played a character with bipolar disorder again in 'Mr. Jones' (1993).

Thanks very much for making this video file available. I'm looking forward to seeing this movie, and appreciate the time and effort of preparing this TV 'rip'. Your characterization of its quality seems quite accurate and having something very watchable available when no DVD has yet been released is really swell! Thanks again.

Diane Lane? Let's see, in 1977 she would have been 12. Diane Keaton is the actress name you want here.
