    This is one of those films that comes out of nowhere and unless you were lucky enough to catch it in the theater the first time around - or during it's half-life on cable in the mid-70's - you missed it. It's a Richard Lester-directed film and for anyone familiar with his work, that tells you you're in for a frantically funny ride. One of the great underrated comedians - Jack Weston - is the star, but in name only with co-stars such as Rita Moreno, Jerry Stiller, F. Murray Abraham and Treat Williams pulling their comedic weight. All of the action takes place one night in a (this is what "dates" the film) gay bathouse in Manhattan. An unsuspecting Weston takes refuge from his mob-boss brother-in-law Jerry Stiller who is trying to carry-out his father's dying wish to "Get Proclo!" Weston looks as "at home" with this "family" as a pair of brown shoes with a tuxedo. Trying to hide while fending off an ardent "chubby chaser", a fame-hungry Rita Moreno and Treat Williams as the high-voiced detective hired to find Proclo, the entire evening comes to a head during the club's amateur night show. Several nice twists throughout the film and just the joy of seeing Jack Weston in center ring is well worth the price of admission. Mr. Lester has never failed to truly entertain his audiences and this film is certainly no exception.

    Your sexual preference will not eliminate you as an appreciative audience member. There is something here for everyone to relate to and watch the rest from that "safe place."

    Perhaps the plot is a bit preposterous... perhaps a little over-the-top... maybe even silly, but... unless you've lived under a rock somewhere, you will start laughing and your laughter will roll on through the rest of the film.

    Treat Williams is hysterical in his role as a private detective following his straight suspect into a gay bath house in New York. Cleverly similar to the real "Continental Baths" on the upper West Side in Manhattan, anyone who ever went to the "Tubs" will have an extra understanding of the funny situations happening there, but it is not neccessary to enjoy the story or activities showcased in this farce.

    Treat Williams is a treat for the eyes in his skimpy towel worn throughout the film. The towels are less flattering on many of the other cast members, but that too, is part of the fun.

    Rita Moreno is great as a "steamy" entertainer (please excuse the pun) with Jerry Stiller, Jack Weston and Kaye Ballard, all turning in perfect performances.

    TAXI... Take me to The Ritz!!!

    Literally married to the Mob, New Jersey sanitation worker Gaetano Proclo (Jack Weston) seeks refuge from his murderous brother-in-law (Jerry Stiller) in the last place anyone would ever look - a gay bath-house in New York. Once hidden, Gaetano gets mixed up in the crazy world of Googie Gomez (Rita Moreno) - the bath's resident grande diva with delusions of actually having talent in the first place - as well as a squeaky-voiced P.I. (Treat Williams).

    One of the most outrageous comedies you'll ever have the pleasure of seeing, based on the Tony Award-winning stage play by Terrence McNally (and featuring many of it's original leading players). Ms Moreno stops the show cold with Googie's manic musical number "Everything's Coming Up Roses", Jack Weston recreates his acclaimed stage performance as Proclo; and baby-faced Treat Williams hits all the right high notes. F. Murray Abraham co-stars as Chris, the bath's main screaming queen; with Kaye Ballard as Weston's frantic wife Vivian, and Paul B. Price (also from the stage cast) as relentless "chubby chaser" Claude.

    Sadly the DVD is bare-bones except for the trailer.

    I hadn't seen "The Ritz" since I first watched it decades ago on cable TV (though it might have been on Nick At Night. It's been too long). I was reminded of it a couple of months ago during a conversation about Rita Moreno. Friends hadn't seen or even heard of this movie. I was so glad to find it here on Amazon, and for a great price. Others have reviewed the movie, so I won't bore you. The cast is superb, the laughs are plentiful, and the quality of the picture on blu-ray is wonderful. If you're a fan of any of the cast, or simply want a madcap romp, this is one to own.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Gay Old Time In New York
    Reviewed in Canada on July 17, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This rollicking comedy is set in a time when these kinds of bathhouses existed. But what makes this movie is the talent of the cast. F. Murray Abraham, Treat Williams, Jack Weston and Jerry Stiller are each quirky and hilarious, but the reason you will want to buy this movie is the over-the-top acting of Rita Moreno as Googie Gomez as she plays off all the other characters.

    Weston is slated to be assassinated by his father-in-law, and his brother-in-law Stiller is more than willing to make that happen. Weston runs to New York City and hides in a sleazy, Gay bathhouse where he encounters Abraham, Williams and Moreno.

    This movie was the film adaptation of the hit Broadway show.
