The Ritz (1976)
Funny, excellent, poignant
17 September 2005 - 17 out of 17 users found this review helpful.
First seen in 1976 as a trailer to main movie, it proved to be one of the most memorable films I have ever seen.
Much of its commentary is starkly relevant today. Rita Morino was so outrageous, her lines have stayed in my head all these years!!
It (somewhat sarcastically)challenged the stereotypes of gays, drag queens, Italian families, and societal values/conceptions in general.
Each actor plays their part to a tee......so very convincingly. This is a comedy classic.
A funny, pleasing film which, without offending, leaves one feeling good about themselves - gay and straight alike.
