"I fell in love with Vincent in this movie."
Your post reminded me of the ladies in our audience, when we saw it re-released at New York City's Quad Cinema. (I myself thought Rosanna Arquette was just adorable.) Those were cosmopolitan, cynical women, and Vincent Spano played a lawless, low class animal, but no matter; they just plain fell for him - HARD.


Miami - Moment Of Truth.

Female infatuation with Vincent became totally obvious to everybody when he and Rosanna exchanged these lines (taking leave of each other in Miami):

Vincent: "I love you." (And he meant it, with all his heart.)
Rosanna: "I know." (She didn't know what else to say.)

We men burst out laughing. The joke was at Vincent's expense, so we could do that, and we forgave Rosanna for blurting it out. (I forgave her, anyway; she let him sleep with her, and was trying her very best to be gentle with him.) But the women in our audience ? Wow, they were HORRIFIED at Rosanna's "cruelty"; they froze into an utter, catatonic silence - except we could detect some low strangling sounds. Then and there, we all knew their hearts had gone out to him - I think more than half of those "cosmopolitan, cynical" big-city ladies would have played opposite Vincent that very instant. (If any female disagreed, she carefully kept it to herself.)


I've also wondered why Vincent Spano's career didn't take off, like Rosanna Arquette's did - he sure went over bigtime with our audience, anyway. Thought you might enjoy this little story, Iamsaintrose - as a Vincent fan, you've got lots of company !

Thanks for your story, thats great! I think that Vincent is just as good as (if not better) than alot of the actors today. He still is gorgeous thats for sure, but we just don't get to see him enough and he has so much to offer esp. the charisma w/great acting chops. Thanks again.

You're very welcome - writing about our "Vincent & Rosanna at the Quad" night was a lot of fun !

I became an instant Vincent Spano fan after seeing this movie too, and always wondered why he didn't become a bigger star-he has the looks and the talent and heck yeah, he still looks hot, I saw him recently on Law & Order SVU. He really never played the Hollywood Fame Game and has basically stayed out of the public eye, but I would like to see him make a full blown comeback because he's terrific!
