Brighton Beach Memoirs

The 2009 revival was a huge flop and ran for only 9 performances.,When Eugene runs out of his house at night to catch up to Stanley at the Subway Station, he jumps over some cables laid out in the middle of the street. Cables used to power the lights for the scene.,Stanley: Jesus, how horny can you get?
Eugene: I don't know. What's the highest score?,Featured in Siskel & Ebert: Platoon/Lady and the Tramp/No Mercy (1986),Good Morning Glory
Written by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel
Performed by George Hall and His Orchestra,This is without a doubt one of Neil Simon's best plays turned movies. It's full of great characters, and memorable dialog. Johnathan Silverman makes a great screen version of young Eugene(he was played by Matthew Broderick on stage).This is the first of Simon's autobiographical trilogy, its followed by the wonderful "Biloxi Blues", and closes with the TV movie "Broadway Bound". If I had to say the movie has any flaws it would maybe be that characters sometimes usually speak in obvious dialog, but that's alright because it's great dialog. Rent this little gem, you won't be sorry!,
