Angie and the Boys Downtown George Earl Wilson

In 1960, Reno, Nevada was THE PLACE. Gambling, parties, and the filming of "The Misfits" create the background for Angie, a cigarette girl at the Orchid Club, and other workers in the city as they navigate the challenges of life in the "biggest little city." Cocktail waitresses, a prostitute, and a craps dealer all work to survive while a local casino boss, the Detroit mob, a corrupt squad of police, and entitled rich artists run the town. "Angie and the Boys Downtown" features a slice-of-life look at Reno during the early sixties with colorful characters and the exciting backdrop of a booming gambling city which was also the quickie legal divorce mecca of the western world.
