As the owner of legendary hotspots like Limelight, Tunnel, Palladium, and Club USA, Peter Gatien was the undisputed king of the 1990s New York City club scene. The eye-patchsporting Ontario native built and oversaw a Manhattan empire that counted tens of thousands of patrons per night in its peak years, acting as a conduit for a culture that, for many, defined the image of an era in New York. Then years of legal battles and police pressure–spearheaded by Mayor Giuliani's determined crackdown on nightlife in the mid-’90s–led to Gatien’s eventual deportation to Canada and to the shuttering of his glitzy kingdom.
Limelight Film Synopsis

Français Un comique du music-hall déchu se prend d'affection pour une jeune danseuse paralysée.
Italiano Londra, 1914. Calvero (Chaplin), un tempo famoso e acclamato clown ma ormai alcolista cronico, salva una giovane ballerina, Terry (Claire Bloom), da un tentativo di suicidio. La porta a casa sua e cerca di reinfonderle fiducia nella vita: la ragazza è rimasta orfana da bambina e sua sorella è stata spinta a prostituirsi, ma grazie agli incoraggiamenti che riceve da Calvero, di fatto trasformatosi nel suo mèntore, Terry riprende coscienza delle sue possibilità e riacquisisce autostima, il che le permette di ritornare con successo al suo lavoro di ballerina.
Português Londres, 1914. Calvero (Charles Chaplin) é um velho comediante, que no passado fizera sucesso no vaudeville e music hall. Calvero foi esquecido e isto o deixou muito próximo de se tornar alcoólatra. Porém tudo muda quando, numa tarde, ao voltar para pensão onde vive, sente um estranho cheiro e constata que é gás, vindo de um dos quartos. Ele arromba a porta e acha inconsciente uma jovem, Thereza Ambrose (Claire Bloom). Calvero chama um médico e ambos a carregam para o seu apartamento, que fica dois andares acima. Quando ela desperta, Calvero lhe pergunta por qual razão quis cometer suicídio. Theresa lhe explica que sempre sonhou ser uma grande bailarina, mas agora suas pernas estão paralisadas. Calvero promete fazer tudo para ajudá-la, mas o que ele não imagina é que, em pouco tempo, Theresa fará tudo para ajudá-lo.
Español La última película americana de Chaplin narra la historia de un payaso que evita el suicidio de una bailarina, y le enseña todo lo que sabe sobre el mundo del espectáculo para ayudarla a triunfar. Destaca un dueto con Buster Keaton, el eterno rival de Chaplin

Deutsch Kurz vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg muss der alternde Komiker Calvero erkennen, dass er am Ende seiner Karriere angekommen ist. Eines Tages rettet er die junge Balletttänzerin Theresa vor dem Selbstmord und macht es sich fortan zur Aufgabe, ihr neues Selbstvertrauen für eine Rückkehr auf die Bühne zu geben. Während Theresa aus Dankbarkeit glaubt, sich in Calvero verliebt zu haben und ihn vergeblich bittet, sie zu heiraten, wird Calvero von dem Wunsch erfüllt, noch ein letztes Mal im Rampenlicht zu stehen
Pусский Стареющий клоун Калверо спасает от самоубийства соседку — девушку-танцовщицу, вынужденную из-за болезни покинуть балетную труппу. Так начинается эта дружба-любовь, которая, по мнению Калверо, не может иметь продолжение — слишком велика разница в возрасте…

한국어/조선말 지금은 형편없지만 왕년의 명코미디언 칼베로는 어느날 가스 자살을 기도한 처녀 테리를 구해 자기방으로 데려가지만 마지막 소지품인 바이올린을 저당잡혀 그녀를 간호한다. 그녀는 무용수였으나 관절이 아파 춤을 출 수 없게된, 희망을 잃어버린 불행한 여자였다. 그런 테리에게 칼메로는 삶의 아름다움과 희망을 전해주고 테리는 이에 용기를 얻어 건강을 회복하게 된다. 칼레로는 테리의 부담을 덜어주기 위해서 그녀의 곁을 떠난다. 몇 년 뒤, 발레리나로 대성공을 거둔 테리는 떠돌이 악사가 된 칼 베로를 만나자 은인을 위해 자선공연을 한다. 공연은 대성공! 환호와 갈채를 뒤로 한 칼베로는 테리가 라임라이트를 받으며 춤을 추고 있는 동안 숨을 거둔다.
Dansk Engang var Calvero en stor varietéstjerne, en komiker af guds nåde og førende indenfor sit felt. I dag er han en skygge af sig selv; alkoholiseret og glemt af sit engang så store publikum. Tiden er 1914, stedet er London. Calvero lugter gas fra en nabolejlighed og bryder døren op. Indenfor finder han en ung kvinde, der har forsøgt at begå selvmord. Den unge kvinde, Thereza, viser sig at være en ung ballerina, der har mistet troen på livet. I stedet for at melde det til politiet og dermed udsætte hende for et retsligt efterspil, vælger Calvero at tage sig af Thereza og få hende bragt til hægterne. Samtidig finder også han en ny mening med tilværelsen og den show-business, han for så længe siden havde mistet troen på.
български език Някога голяма звезда в мюзикхола, Калверо вече е стар, уморен и забравен клоун. Но един ден се превръща в герой и опора за красива млада жена. Тери е негова съседка – балерина, внушила си, че е с парализирани крайни. Отчаяна, тя прави опит за самоубийство. Калверо я спасява. Клоунът успява да я изправи на крака не само физически. Тя отново започва да танцува и се връща на сцената. Подкрепата е взаимна. От благодарност, Тери предлага да стане негова съпруга. Но Калверо разсъдливо дава път на младостта да срещне своята навременна любов и се оттегля, за да продължи да помага на други, някъде на улицата, със смях...
ελληνικά Η Terry προσπαθεί να αυτοκτονήσει λόγω της κατάθλιψης από την αποτυχημένη καριέρα της στο χορό, όμως τη σώζει από βέβαιο θάνατο ο Calvero, ένας φτωχός, κάποτε διάσημος κλόουν σκηνής. Ο Calvero αναζωογονεί την Terry και στην πορεία ανακάμπτει επίσης και η αυτοεκτίμησή του.

Magyar 1914. London. Egy öregedő, részeges bohóc, Calvero megmenti az azonos panzióban lakó táncosnő életét. A lány öngyilkosságot próbált elkövetni, mert betegsége miatt nem tud többé táncolni. De Calvero rájön, paralízisét lelkiismeret-furdalása váltotta ki, hiszen úgy érzi, nővére az ő karrierje miatt áldozta fel magát. A pálya szélére sodródott Calvero mindent elkövet, hogy a lányt ismét talpra állítsa.

The cocaine trade of the 70s and 80s had an indelible impact on contemporary Miami. Smugglers and distributors forever changed a once sleepy retirement community into one of the world’s most glamorous hot spots, the epicenter of a $20 billion annual business fed by Colombia’s Medellin cartel. By the early 80s, Miami’s tripled homicide rate had made it the murder capital of the country, for which a Time cover story dubbed the city “Paradise Lost.”
With COCAINE COWBOYS, filmmaker Billy Corben – whose first feature Raw Deal: A Question Of Consent, caused a sensation at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival – paints a dazzling portrait of a cultural explosion that still echoes as Hollywood myth, evidenced by the latest manifestation, NBC/Universal’s Miami Vice, opening July 28th. Composer of the original “Miami Vice” theme, Jan Hammer, provides the score.
They say South Florida is a sunny place for shady people and this is certainly true of steroid peddler Anthony Bosch and his most notorious client, Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees. While Bosch's medical credentials may be lacking, his storytelling skills are first rate as he hilariously details the rise and fall of his “health clinic” and one of the biggest scandals in MLB history.
The cocaine trade of the '70s and '80s had an indelible impact on contemporary Miami. Smugglers and distributors forever changed a once-sleepy retirement community into one of the world's most glamorous hot spots, the epicenter of a $20 billion annual business fed by Colombia's Medellin cartel.

Dreaming of sporting triumph in Miami. Magic City Hustle follows former University of Miami athletes hoping for a second chance at glory as they take on the world’s fastest sport. Set against the challenging hustle economy of Miami where working multiple jobs is required to stay economically afloat, the only Americans in the game face the longest of odds learning to play a sport totally foreign to them. Director Billy Corben, with credits including “The U”, “Broke” and “Screwball”, chronicles the lives of these former outstanding college athletes fighting for hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money. The ups, downs and almost outs reveal themselves as they prepare for and compete in this inaugural season.
In 1979, the U.S. Customs Service reported that 87% of all marijuana seizures in the U.S. were made in the South Florida area. Due to the region's 5,000 miles of coast and coastal waterways and close proximity to the Caribbean and Latin America, South Florida was a pot smuggler's paradise. In sharp contrast to the brazenly violent cocaine cowboys of the 1980s, Miami's marijuana smugglers were cooler, calmer, and typically nonviolent. Square Grouper paints a vivid portrait of Miami's pot smuggling culture in the '70s and '80s and its major players: the smuggling Black Tuna Gang, the pot dealing Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church and the tiny fishing village of Everglades City.
“The Godmother,” Griselda Blanco, was a woman allegedly responsible for hundreds of murders in Miami, trafficking over 300 tons of cocaine, and plotting the kidnapping of John F. Kennedy, Jr. Charles Cosby tells his story about how he became the Godmother’s lover and the trusted head of her empire… until he betrayed her.
Using the story of the Red Star Line as a narrative vessel, this three-part documentary by Daniël Cattier and Fabio Wuytack explains why European emigrants left their homes behind for an uncertain future. It details their trips to Antwerp, their travel across the ocean, and their adjustments to their new lives in America. Theirs are intimate yet epic journeys in which past and present merge in the forging of new identities.
The film, which is shot on location in Antwerp, New York, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and Ukraine, uses ‘emotional archaeology’ to weave a richer narrative than could be conveyed through a string of facts and figures. And walking in the footsteps of Red Star Line passengers, surprising similarities are revealed to the experiences of modern immigrants.
From a highly-touted 18-year-old pick in the 1992 MLB Draft to the first player in the New York Yankees’ storied history to achieve the 3,000-hit plateau, Derek Jeter has always been a Yankee first.
