Living is Little Italy
I grew up in this area and I can identify with many of the characters in this film. I actually can think I know who some of the characters really are.The music is probably one of the best sound tracks of this era, especially if you like Do-wop music.Some of the scenes I remember happening when I was growing up. One in particular is the Lion. This is a true incident.Robert DeNiro and Harvey Keitel are very believable in their parts. Another character I remember is Michael. He could be any of a number of people I recall.This movie gives you a sense of what it was like back in the 50's and early 60's. The reality is there. Martin Scorcese does an outstanding job depicting the social aspect and hi-jinx of these characters.This movie is worth buying and keeping. It is surely a classic. If you grew up in this era, it will bring you back. The music alone makes it worth buying.
