basic detailsThe Full Monty (1997) Directed by - Peter Cattaneo "Sheffield, England. Once a bright community "on the move", the city has fallen into ruin after the steel factories are closed and thousands of men lose their jobs. Gary "Gaz" (Robert Carlyle) is a former worker and about to lose his son because he can't pay for joint custody. His friends (and former co-workers) aren't doing much better: Dave (Mark Addy) is depressed and convinced his wife isn't interested in their marriage anymore; Lomper (Steve Huison) has to take care of his mom and is suicidal; and Gerald (Tom Wilkinson) has been lying to his wife for six months about his unemployment. After stumbling across a Chipendales dance club and seeing how many women are paying for it (ten quid times a thousand women equals... "a lot of money"), Gaz realizes that if they can do it, so can he. The guys pull together, adding Horse (Paul Barber) and Guy (Hugo Speer) to the line-up. But Gaz realizes that they have to offer something that the "real thing" doesn't... so these guys are going "the full monty", which means going totally nude! They not be young, they not be pretty, they not be very good, but they're there, and for one night only, with nothing to lose, they're daring to go The Full Monty!" - Summary from the Full Monty page at IMDB cast(in credits order) Robert Carlyle ....
