Description

Get Shorty (1995) — the only Hollywood story where the mobster is the most charming guy in the room. John Travolta smooth-talks his way from loan shark to movie producer, Gene Hackman bumbles through toupee trauma, and there’s enough double-crossing, script-flipping, and industry satire to make you wonder if crime actually is showbiz.
