Minor mobster Jack Ruby (Danny Aiello) leaves the Chicago Mafia to open a strip club in Dallas. There, he befriends a young woman named Candy Cane (Sherilyn Fenn), who becomes a friend, confidante, and stripper at his establishment. Though he becomes an FBI informant, Ruby still tries to stay in the good graces of his former mob boss--upholding a dual allegiance that makes him the perfect fall guy--leading him to murder President Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, on live television. This fictionalized biopic offers a compelling portrait of a mysterious player in one of the most continuingly compelling events in modern history. [More]

Reviews for Ruby
Amorphous and rambling, Rudy, about Kennedy's assassin, is no good, but it also has the misfortune of being released after Oliver Stone's JFK.
