Now, speaking to you, pb, and in this thread, I'm reminded of another good movie which fits here - "Bloodbrothers" starring Richard Gere. Paul Sorvino plays Gere's uncle and Tony LoBianco plays his dad and both of them were absolutely awesome in this movie about an Italian family in the Bronx. If you've never seen it you MUST get it somewhere!!
I've seen it, SC. I'm a huge fan of Richard Price, who wrote the book. Price also gave us one of our other favorites in "The Wanderers."
But back to "Bloodbrothers," and why that book resonates with me. In the novel, the character of Stony (played by Gere in the film) graduated Mount Saint Michael in 1975. I graduated the Mount in 1977. And being that the entire book was set in Co Op City, it hit that much closer to home.
What I'm saying is, read the book. It's back in print:
