I've been urging folks to watch this movie for years here. It has a little bit of everything worth watching (a good story, very good acting, some drama, some very funny scenes, etc.). McQueen shows his acting prowess and Wood was at her prettiest (and thats saying a lot). The family scenes were hysterical, yet poignant (similar to "Marty", some years earlier).

Look for Richard Castellano (Clemenza) in a quick scene near the beginning (he doesn't speak).

The scenes of New York City in the early 60's are well worth seeing as well.
