Fat City | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

In addition to the splendid cinematography, along with the songs that animate the soundtrack, the acting is outstanding. [Full Review in Spanish]

Huston rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a camera, and dived head-first into Gardner's unapologetic pessimism...what resulted was one of the finest films of his career.

A knockout scene by that grand old battler, John Huston.

The movie's bleak, but it's funnier than most comedies, and it suggests that life's toughness doesn't preclude joyfulness.

So you say to yourself, this Fat City is pretty damn realistic, even if you know in your heart that "realistic" and Hollywood should not be printed on the same page-otherwise paper ignites. Still, you're marveling at it.
