THE ELECTRIC CHAIR - Lost New York undergorund movie - on DVD

Victor Argo (Ghost Dog, Taxi Driver, True Romance) is a shoe store manager who attempts to revive a failed career as a stand-up comic by performing at a mysterious club where he finds himself sharing the stage with a looming, ready-to-shock electric chair... and performing before an audience of himself in the various stages of his life, and other friends, family and enemies -- who are all subject to his cantankerous and biting routines on love, society, friendship and god.

Never before released, The Electric Chair is a true lost treasure of New York City filmmaking at its most inspired, sarcastic and dark -- laced with shades of both Scorsese and Jarmusch -- and striking a chord somewhere between Lenny and The King of Comedy.
