A 1980 American drama film written and directed by Robert Kaylor that has a young waitress (Jodie Foster) joining a couple carnival hustlers (Gary Busey and Robbie Robertson) to get some excitement.
The movie also stars Meg Foster, Kenneth McMillan, Elisha Cook Jr., Tim Thomerson, Theodore Wilson, Bill McKinney, Bert Remsen, and Woodrow Parfrey.
It was released on June 13, 1980.
Not to be confused with Carny (2009).
Tropes for the film:
- One-Word Title: Carny.
- Tagline: "Where love is just another sucker's game".
- Two Guys and a Girl: Patch, a member of the road crew of a circus (which is what the term Carny refers to) strikes up a romance with one of the customers, Donna. She decides she likes his friend, Frankie, and has sex with him, too. Apparently this doesn't bother or affect any of them at all, and have simply decided that both of them are going to share her with each other.
