Harrelson will play an older gay 'escort' of society ladies in D.C.

Set against a backdrop of political scheming, a murder mystery, a love story and a weekly canasta game, THE WALKER tells a tale of the gossip fuelled intrigues of life in Washington DC.

 

Paul Schrader explains the title of his film: “Walker is a term that was coined by John Fairchild when he was editor of W magazine to describe Jerry Zipkin, who was Nancy Reagan’s and Betsy Bloomingdale’s walker, amongst others.  A walker is one of those funny, middle-aged gents, homosexual, who squires the wives of the rich and famous to the opera and such, and who loves that world.  Zipkin used to have a weekly canasta game just like Carter does.”

Enjoyable movie, wonderful cast nostalgic music and milieu all make for a great home cinema selection. It isn’t a blockbuster or a slasher flick, not even a love story although it is a relationship driven drama and barely a mystery despite the murder driven plot line. The unsolved mystery to me was who killed the “The Walker”? After the film festivals did it actually get distributed outside New York City?
