TAXI: LATKA THE PLAYBOY (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series about the employees of a New York City cab company. In this episode, befuddled immigrant mechanic Latka Gravas tires of being perceived as a "cute little foreigner" and decides to adopt the persona of a slick-talking, aggressive American gigolo he dubs "Vic Ferrari." Although this sudden, extreme assimilation allows Latka to fare far better with American women than he had previously, his friends at the cab company quickly become disenchanted with the loathsome Vic. Commercials deleted.
