Playing for Keeps is a 1986 comedy film directed and written by brothers Bob and Harvey Weinstein. It stars Daniel Jordano, Matthew Penn and Leon W. Grant as a trio of inner-city teenagers attempting to strike it rich by turning a hotel into a rock 'n' roll resort. A then little-known Marisa Tomei has a supporting role.
The film's soundtrack features music by a decidedly higher-profile roster: Phil Collins, Julian Lennon, Pete Townshend, and Duran Duran splintergroup Arcadia.
The film was produced by Miramax and released by Universal Pictures. To date the film is the only Miramax production (excluding co-productions) that The Weinstein Company doesn't own after acquiring the pre-2005 Miramax films (Universal still owns the film).
