the ritz (1976)


"I can't talk now, I think he's surrounding me for unnatural things."
Cleveland businessman Gaetano Proclo (Jack Weston) checks into the last place he things his psychotic brother-in-law Carmine (Jerry Stiller) will find him. The Ritz New York, a gay bath house. Carmine wants to kill Proclo and has hired detective Michael Brick (Treat Williams) who tracks him there. And whilst Proclo tries to fend off a chubby chaser and Googie Gomez (Rita Moreno), he gets more trouble as his wife (Kaye Ballard) turns up.
Lester takes the broadway farce onto the big screen and creates a wild world of bath house patrons in this interesting comedy.
