Gloria

1980 122 min PG Crime · Drama · Thriller

She's tough… but she sides with the little guy. And she's out to beat the mob at their own game.

A cracked window frame in a Queens tenement. A child’s shoe on the stoop, still damp with rain. Gloria, a woman who keeps her shotgun loaded and her emotions closer, takes in the orphaned boy—then flees with him into subway tunnels and flickering neon, clutching a ledger no one should read. Cassavetes shoots their flight like a breath held too long.

Directed by John Cassavetes · Written by John Cassavetes

Starring Gena Rowlands, Buck Henry, Julie Carmen, John Adames, Tony Knesich, Gregory Cleghorne
