Story Movie

She's a lucky woman. She has everything. She has a rented apartment that most people would kill for. She has a wonderful, wonderful job. She knows a thousand famous writers, editors and publishers. She hosts the most prestigious literary readings in New York.

He is a happy man. He gets up in the morning and listens to the birds chirping. He puts on a clean shirt, goes to synagogue for morning prayers, then has a cup of coffee at a friend's store. And at exactly nine in the morning, the door of his shop opens and work begins.

It's definitely time for them to meet.

Review 4K Movie

This is my favorite movie of all time with an unbelievable cast of great character actors. I remember a New York reviewer at the time calling Amy Irving's performance "lukewarm" and I could not disagree more. Irving's performance and character epitomize the thirty-something single New York working woman trying to move up in the world. Irving's character is completely enraptured by the experience of being the book manager of a very prestigious uptown neighborhood book store and falls for the good-looking, European writer who is completely enraptured with himself! Riegert is the nice "pickleman" who any girl knows would make a great husband but the fireworks just don't go off for the girl. Any woman can definitely relate to the dilemma of being attracted to the charming, good-looking rogue but when you get right down to it, it is the everyday "picklemen" who stay true and truly make the world go round.

And I must say that this film captures the city better than any movie I have yet to see complete with crazy singing woman in crowded narrow hot dog joint, midage man struggling to play handball in local park, elderly women learning self-defense at community Y. Classic New York stuff! I could go on and on but do note far out performances by Sylvia Miles as the tacky matchmaker and Rosemary Harris, the great English actress, in a cameo near the end.
