Born to Win

Heroin addiction knocked once-trendy Manhattan hairdresser J (George Segal) off the fast track and into the abyss, where he scuffles by dealing and thieving. As he finds romance with Parm (Karen Black)-whose car he tried to lift-he thinks he's found his out, but his choice to double-cross his supplier has devastating repercussions. Ivan Passer's engrossing, enervating look into the drug culture also stars Robert de Niro, Paula Prentiss, Hector Elizondo, Burt Young. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
