GOLD COAST

The late Frank Muller's performance of GOLD COAST, originally released in 1995, is truly extraordinary. It's the story of Florida Mob widow Karen DiCilia, who discovers that her husband, in response to a threat she made regarding his extramarital affairs, has arranged for his associates to discourage any male attention she might receive after his death. She enlists the help of ex-con Cal Maguire, and together they attempt to thwart the efforts of Roland, the thug assigned to ruin her future happiness. Muller narrates with such subtlety—the slightest degree of tone and accent differentiates one character from the next—that he hypnotizes you with his voice until you forget you’re listening to a story instead of experiencing it yourself.
