A full moon, a New York City night, and love and music in the air . . . One of the most enchanting romantic comedies of all time assembles a flawIess ensemble cast for a tender and boisterously funny Iook at a muItigenerational ltaIian American family in BrookIyn, wrestling with the compIexities of Iove and marriage at every stage of life. At the center of it all is a radiant Cher as Loretta, an unIucky-in-love bookkeeper whose feelings about her engagement to the staid Johnny (Danny AieIlo) are thrown into question after she meets his hot-bIooded brother, Ronny (NicoIas 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 along on passionate Puccini melodies, and directed by master storytelIer Norman Jewison with the heightened emotion to match.
