SINGING ICON FRANKIE VALLI IN ONE OF HIS FINEST DRAMATIC ROLES AS SALESMAN "HARRY THE WOLF" IN MICHAEL COLE DINELLI"S AWARD WINNING FILM "CASH DEAL"
Back in their small town motel room in the deep south during an impending rainstorm
Harry "The Wolf" an older salesman, and somewhat of a legend in the business is frightened after having a heart attack scare in the middle of a pitch, while Jacky Diamond, his young cocky protege is gloating over their recent stroke of luck, an eighteen thousand dollar 'cash deal'
There is no love lost between Harry and Jacky; Harry thinks the kid is an arrogant punk. But Jacky is thrilled to be working with the greatest salesman in the biz. The heart attack scare causes Harry to reassess his life realizing what a waste its been. He tries to teach this kid a sense of ethic by confiding his wisdom and opening his personal life to him. But it all falls on deaf ears. Broads, cars, and money are all this kid cares about.
When Harry discovers a gold Dunhill lighter that Jacky stole from customer's coffee table, he becomes infuriated and decides to teach this kid the lesson of his life, in a way only "Harry The Wolf" can pull off.
I received "Cash Deal" today and, of course, watched it as soon as I could. This is Frankie's best acting I have seen from him. The language is of course not for all ears but, great acting just the same. It seemed too short. Great work on this movie and all involved.
Thank you for alerting everyone on this short.

Cash Deal", a video short starring Frankie Valli. This is Valli's best dramatic performance to date. Frankie Valli plays Harry "The Wolf", a brilliant salesman and con-artist, on the road with a young man who worships him. This is a story of dreams unfulfilled, and the emotions brought forth when thinking back about what could have been. Valli has a powerful emotional scene when he looks back upon his lost dream. Harry is ready to give up the road but he has one last con left before doing so.

Also, if you ever talk to Frankie sometime, tell him that a fan (me: Anna) says that she loves his performance and hopes to meet him sometime. (If that's possible.)
