Michael Backman

Chapter Chapter 13 in The Asian Insider, 2004, pp 101-110 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Hollywood director Peter Bogdanovich filmed the movie Saint Jack in Singapore in 1979. In that film, easygoing expatriate American Jack Flowers becomes a pimp in 1970s Singapore who furnishes prostitutes to foreigners. He opens a successful brothel, but pressure from local mobsters soon puts him out of business. Along the way he becomes involved in a blackmail scheme with an American mobster.
