Hit and Runway is a 1999 American comedy film directed by Christopher Livingston.[1] The film is a buddy comedy centred on the work relationship between Alex Andero (Michael Parducci), a young heterosexual Italian-American waiter, and Elliot Springer (Peter Jacobson), an older gay Jewish playwright, who meet and become friends despite their differences as they collaborate on Alex's idea for a screenplay about an undercover police officer posing as a fashion model.[2]
