For this lavish big studio period piece, Harold Michelson’s (uncredited) illustrations helped inform the Oscar-nominated art direction of the eponymous Harlem hotspot. Coppola’s underrated Jazz Age gangster saga also features one of the great casts of the ’80s: Richard Gere, Gregory Hines, James Remar, Diane Lane, Bob Hoskins, Julian Beck, and Joe Dallesandro.
