This film gets a 10 out of 10. The film was made for $375,000 and made over 7 million dollars. Steven Keats, Carol Kane, and Doris Roberts are excellent. The cinematography is excellent, and the direction is superb. Carol Kane's performance of Gitl is outstanding, a well deserved Oscar nomination. The film has its comedic moments, many of them delivered by the very funny Doris Roberts. A great harmless PG film, atmospheric, and intelligent. This is definitely a cinematic achievement. This film was recently screened in East Hampton, NY at The East Hampton library. There was a great turnout, and everyone enjoyed the film. Many thanks to Mr. Steven Spataro for selecting this film.
