Synopsis
This film, which incorporates the plots of four Damon Runyon
stories, takes place in and around a grand New Year's Eve party
in 1928. The guests, many of whose lives intertwine during the
evening, include Harriet (Julie Hagerty), the rich society doll
throwing the bash; the aptly named Feet Samuels (Randy Quaid),
who is about to sell those body parts to a doctor; and Hortense
(Madonna), the ballsy, money-hungry showgirl Feet has a crush
on. There's also "The Brain" (Rutger Hauer), a mob boss
with many girlfriends -- who's walking around with a knife in
his stomach; Regret (Matt Dillon), so named for his chronic inability
to pick a winning racehorse; and many other colorful characters,
all of whom will make this one night to remember. (source: Rotten
