The Encore of Tony Duran
Chronicling the day Tony Duran hits bottom, the tick-tock of a human train-wreck, Tony is a singer washed-up 20 years ago: fat, drunk, broke, unemployed and trapped-- clinging to his house and 12 year old Mercedes, neither he can afford; a victim of the economy, raging against universe, alienated and facing the rest of his life in dread. He turns to crime to turn a buck, and proves incompetent even at that. In disgrace, having lost his friend's money, Tony stands in judgment, and Jerry forces from him the TRUTH about his downward spiral. Jerry sets Tony on a path of human transformation and redemption; he makes Tony sing again. Starring Gene Pietragallo, Cody Kasch, Nikki Ziering, William Katt and Elliott Gould. Written by Mitchell Cohen. Co-Producers Gene Pietragallo, Terry Allen Fraser. Produced by Mitchell Cohen, Gerard DiNardi, Fred A. Sayeg. Directed by Fred A. Sayeg.
