Plot summary

The ultimate New York City playboy Jack Frost is shattered when he discovers his one true love Carolina is about to marry another man. Still haunted by his mother's suicide, Jack spirals into a self-destructive cycle of whiskey and reckless behavior, while his best friends Ozzy and Scotch try to jar him back to reality.
Strangely enough, it's Jack's eleven-year-old neighbor, Sophie, who helps the drowning urbanite shake off the nostalgia and excess that threaten to consume him.

Production

The Last International Playboy is the debut feature film production of Director Steve Clark, who penned the original screenplay with co-writer Thomas Moffett and was inspired by the life of George Plimpton, a friend and colleague of the writers. The film was released shortly after the death of Lucy Gordon - who played Kate in the film - and the film was dedicated in memory of her. Thomas Moffett also wrote the film Shrink starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Williams, which was received to much critical acclaim at the 2009 Sundance festival.
