Peter Riegert gave a strong performance as a hard working, truly nice guy.toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-76487032611267130812015-08-04T22:57:14.896-04:002015-08-04T22:57:14.896-04:00So nice to see all the fans for CROSSING DELANCEY....So nice to see all the fans for CROSSING DELANCEY. I am also puzzled as to why it wasn't a bigger hit when released and isn't better known today.

It's not just the actors but the whole vibe of the film captures a period in New York that seems to have passed. <br /><br />I'm usually not a fan of The Roches but their music fits the film so well and gives it a singular personality. And Suzzy Roche, pulling double duty, is quite wonderful in her small role as Izzy's friend Marilyn. All the supporting cast is sensational down to the smallest role, that sad woman who sings One Enchanted Evening in the deli haunts me still.<br /><br />Amy Irving & Peter Riegert have tons of chemistry and make the lead pair very charming both separately and together but as lovely as they are together Reizl Bozyk owns this film. The fact that she didn't even score a nomination for this totally brilliant work is appalling, in my opinion she should have won. <br /><br />I think I like Tootsie more than you, warts and all, but do agree that Durning's forgiveness comes awfully quickly. Poor Teri Garr had the misfortune to be competing the year the academy was determined to hand an Oscar, any Oscar, to Jessica Lange for her brilliance in Frances and since Streep was unbeatable in Sophie's Choice they had to hand her the award that rightfully should have had Teri's name on it. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-34817005366226966102015-08-04T22:26:57.702-04:002015-08-04T22:26:57.702-04:00I am SO GLAD you wrote about "Crossing Delanc...I am SO GLAD you wrote about "Crossing Delancey". It's one of my all-time fave films, and NO ONE writes about it! I absolutely adore the characters in this film, but Reizl Bozyk steals the show. I've introduced this movie to several people and every single one has fallen in love with "Bubbie".Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-40637545496468253532015-08-04T20:32:05.101-04:002015-08-04T20:32:05.101-04:00Peter Riegert showed in Crossing Delancey and Loca...Peter Riegert showed in Crossing Delancey and Local Hero he could carry a movie as well as stand out in ensembles.
