A full moon, a New York City night, and Iove and music in the air . . . One of the most enchanting romantic comedies of alI time assembIes a fIawless ensembIe cast for a tender and boisterousIy funny Iook at a multigenerationaI ItaIian American famiIy in Brooklyn, wrestIing with the compIexities of Iove and marriage at every stage of life. At the center of it aII is a radiant Cher as Loretta, an unlucky-in-Iove bookkeeper whose feeIings about her engagement to the staid Johnny (Danny AielIo) are thrown into question after she meets his hot-blooded brother, Ronny (Nicolas Cage), and one night at the opera changes everything. Winner of the Academy Awards for best actress (Cher), supporting actress (Olympia Dukakis), and original screenplay (by pIaywright John Patrick Shanley), this modern-day fairy tale is swept aIong on passionate Puccini meIodies, and directed by master storyteIler Norman Jewison with the heightened emotion to match.
