Blu Ray Upgrades The Sound for this Great Movie
As an Italian who grew up in Brooklyn, this film about an Italian family in Brooklyn has always been one of my all-time favorites. The dialogue by writer John Patrick Hanley, who won the Oscar for best script, is great. It's hard to believe that he's Irish and not Italian, but he hung out with Italian friends and grew up in Brooklyn. Director Norman Jewison did a magnificent job of picking the cast, the actors have great comedic timing. As for the Blu Ray, the biggest improvement is the sound. The music to this film is terrific and it sounds great on the Blu Ray. The picture is a bit clearer but not a huge improvement over the regular dvd. The extras are very good and include current interviews with some of the cast members, plus some interviews from 1987. This is one of the all-time great romantic comedys.
