It was supposed to be a $40 million movie about the 1940s Cleveland burlesque scene. Instead, the film has suddenly lost its funding, leaving northeast Ohio cast and crew members without pay.
NewsChannel5 and a host of other Cleveland media outlets covered the casting call for the movie titled “Retro” with great fanfare three weeks ago. The movie’s director, Mark Gargiulo, boasted the project was given approval for a $40 million budget from Focus 4 Pictures, a movie company allegedly located in the United Kingdom.
