Ishtar VHS 1987 RCA Columbia Dustin Hoffman Elaine May Side Flap Hi-Fi

Ishtar on VHS from RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video, released in 1987. Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman star as Lyle Rogers and Chuck Clarke, two hopelessly untalented New York songwriters. They take a lounge gig in Morocco and stumble into a political powderkeg involving spies, revolutionaries and the CIA. Written and directed by Elaine May, the film also stars Isabelle Adjani, Charles Grodin and Jack Weston, with cinematography by Vittorio Storaro. Infamous as one of the most notorious box-office flops of the 1980s, Ishtar has since gained a cult following among fans of offbeat comedy. This release comes in the original cardboard slipcase sleeve with catalog number 60849 printed on the spine. It is rated PG-13, runs approximately 107 minutes, and is presented in color with Hi-Fi sound. The tape was made in the U.S.A. This copy is a former rental store tape and carries rental store labels.
