Just a Gigolo (German: Schöner Gigolo, armer Gigolo, lit. 'Beautiful Gigolo, Poor Gigolo') is a 1978 West German drama film directed by David Hemmings and starring David Bowie. Set in post-World War I Berlin, it also features Sydne Rome, Kim Novak and Marlene Dietrich in her final film role.

The film was panned by critics and audiences; this led Bowie to quip that it was "my 32 Elvis Presley movies rolled into one".^[1]
