Ray's Male Heterosexual Dance Hall (1987)

When the latest corporate merger sees him out of work, “Sam” (Boyd Gaines) is sitting on a bench contemplating his limited options when his friend stops by and suggests he try out this unique meeting place. Walk through the doors and there are all the suited and booted movers and shakers - moving and shaking on the dance floor to oldies whilst talking business or avoiding talking business and just looking like they belong under one of the dance floor’s discreet but significant spotlights. Our friend is initially a little self-conscious, but if he is to get anything from this man-on-man experience, he’s going to have to step up to the plate. It’s quite original for the first five minutes, but then I found it a little too cringemaking as the joke started to wear thin and the whole thing rather ran out pace. It’s proof, though, that deals and relationships are rarely done, struck, or nurtured within the confines of an office - something I heartily agree with!
