THE KING OF MARVIN GARDENS
Jack Nicholson gives one of his most intense performances as David Staebler, the host of a late-night radio call-in show in Philadelphia. A shy introvert who only comes to life when spinning tales on the mic, David couldn't be more different from his fun-loving, high-living brother, Jason (Bruce Dern), who's in over his head with a racketeer (Scatman Crothers). Receiving an urgent call from Jason in Atlantic City, David heads up the Jersey Shore, first to bail out his brother, then, along with Jason's girlfriend (Ellen Burstyn), to dream and scheme about how they can hit it big.
