The Flamingo Kid (1984)
A legend in his own neighborhood.
Starring Matt Dillon, Héctor Elizondo, Molly McCarthy
Directed by Garry Marshall
Brooklyn teenager Jeffrey Willis, thoroughly unhappy with his modest homestead, embraces the other-world aspects of his summer job at the posh Flamingo Club. He spurns his father in favor of the patronage of smooth-talking Phil Brody and is seduced by the ample bikini charms of club member Carla Samson. But thanks to a couple of late-summer hard lessons, the teen eventually realizes that family should always come first.
