In the tradition of 'Diner,' 'Tin Men,' and 'Avalon,' Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson ('Man of the Year,' 'Sphere') continues with this story of 1950s Baltimore -- a period of great change with issues of race, religion and class distinction causing turmoil between two generations of a Jewish family. Starring Academy Award-winner Adrien Brody ('The Pianist,' 'The Thin Red Line'), Emmy and Golden Globe-nominee Joe Mantegna (TV's 'The Last Don,' 'Three Amigos!'), Emmy-winner Bebe Neuwirth (TV's 'Frasier,' 'How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days') and Orlando Jones ('The Replacements,' TV's 'Mad TV'). '...a grand slam... [Levinson's] best film.' -- Daily Variety. '...an engrossing, heartfelt account of growing up in America... Levinson has cast his film with pure genius.' -- The Hollywood Reporter.
