Hubert Selby Jr.'s controversial novel is now a visually arresting and powerfully performed motion picture. The depressed dock area of Brooklyn in the early 1950s serves as a background for anger, violence and forbidden emotions among hookers, drag queens, juvenile delinquents and union organizers. With Stephan Lang, Jerry Orbach, Burt Young, Peter Dobson, Stephen Baldwin, Sam Rockwell, Ricki Lake, and Jennifer Jason Leigh as the cold-hearted hooker Tralala.
