Description of this True Romance Poster
True Romance is a 1993 American romantic crime film directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino. It stars an ensemble cast led by Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, with Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, and Christopher Walken in supporting roles. Slater and Arquette play newlyweds on the run from the mob after stealing a drug shipment.
True Romance began as a screenplay by Tarantino, who sold it to finance his first feature film, Reservoir Dogs (1992). The film is considered by its supporters to distill the respective trademarks of writer Tarantino and director Scott, including a Southern California setting, pop culture references, and stylized violence punctuated by slow motion.
Although the film was initially a box-office failure, positive reviews, which praised the film’s dialogue, characters, and offbeat style, earned it a cult following. It is now considered one of Scott’s best films and one of the best American films of the 1990s.
At a Detroit theater showing kung fu films, Alabama Whitman strikes up a conversation with Clarence Worley, an Elvis Presley fanatic. Later, they have sex in the latter’s downtown apartment. Alabama tearfully confesses that she was a call girl hired by her boss as a birthday present, but that she had fallen in love with him. They were married the next day at City Hall. An apparition of Elvis visited Clarence and convinced him to kill Alabama’s abusive pimp, Drexl Spivey. Going to the brothel where Alabama worked, he killed Drexl and took a bag he assumed contained Alabama’s belongings. Back at the apartment, he and Alabama discovered it contained a large quantity of cocaine that Drexl had stolen from two drug dealers. The couple sought help from Clarence’s estranged father, Clifford, a retired police officer. He explained to Clarence that the police believed Drexl’s murder was the work of a gang seeking revenge against the murdered dealers. After the couple leaves for Los Angeles, Clifford is interrogated by Vincenzo Coccotti, consigliere of the mobster “Blue Lou Boyle,” who had hired Drexl to steal and distribute the cocaine on his behalf. He reveals that the mob knows about Clarence’s theft since they found his driver’s license near Drexl’s body. Clifford, knowing he’s going to die anyway, taunts Coccotti, who shoots him dead. One of his men then finds a Los Angeles address taped to Clifford’s refrigerator.
In Los Angeles, Clarence and Alabama meet Dick Ritchie, an aspiring actor friend of Clarence’s, who introduces him to actor and production assistant Elliot Blitzer. Blitzer reluctantly agrees to act as a middleman to sell the drugs to his boss, legendary film producer Lee Donowitz. While Clarence is out buying lunch, Coccotti’s henchman, Virgil, finds Alabama in her motel room and beats her for information. Alabama fights back, uses hairspray to set Virgil’s clothes on fire, and gets nail polish in his eyes before grabbing his sawed-off shotgun, stabbing him with a corkscrew, and shooting him dead in a fit of manic rage. Clarence treats his wounds, and they discuss their future together.
Elliot is pulled over for speeding and charged when his mistress spills a bag of cocaine after he tries to hide it in her dress. To avoid jail time, he agrees to wear a wire and record the drug deal between Clarence and Donowitz for Detectives Dimes and Nicholson. Coccotti’s men also learn the location of the transaction from Dick’s roommate, Floyd. Clarence, Alabama, Dick, and Elliot go to Donowitz’s suite at the Ambassador Hotel with the drugs. In the elevator, a suspicious Clarence threatens Elliot with a gun, but is persuaded by Elliot, who asks for leniency. Clarence invents a story for Donowitz that the drugs were given to him by a corrupt cop, and he agrees to the deal. Excusing himself to the restroom, a vision of Elvis reassures him that things are going well. Donowitz and his bodyguards are ambushed by the cops and mobsters. Elliot reveals himself to be an informant by asking the cops if he can leave, which triggers a shootout. Dick throws the suitcase containing the drugs into the air, where it is torn to pieces by the gunfire, and flees. Donowitz, his bodyguards, Elliot, the cops, and the mobsters are all killed, and Clarence is wounded leaving the bathroom. He and Alabama escape with Donowitz’s money as more police officers arrive. They flee to Mexico, where Alabama gives birth to a son they name Elvis.
