Reviews

CinemaSerf

I’m not a great fan of kids in films, but hats off to the young Richie Andrusco who really holds this together amiably well. “Joey” likes to play with his elder brother “Lennie” (Richard Brewster) and his pals but they think he’s a bit of a nuisance and like to play pranks on him. When they start me...

Really wonderful black and white photography in the cinematography. There are some amazing shots of New York City and Coney Island circa 1952. Great story, and a perfect film for me. 10/10...
