New York, New York (1977)
12KNew York, New York: Directed by Martin Scorsese. With Liza Minnelli, Robert De Niro, Lionel Stander, Barry Primus. An egotistical saxophonist and a young lounge singer meet on VJ Day and embark upon a strained and rocky romance, even as their careers begin a long, uphill climb.
“Good musical with De Niro and Minelli giving excellent performances as a pair of aggravating people. Both of them constantly had me grinding my teeth over their silly inability to get along with either each other or, in De Nirou0026#39;s case, with most anybody else. This sax blowing moron couldnu0026#39;t get his mind off himself long enough to notice that there were other folks in the world along with his royal presence. What a s**t! Francine Evans, Minelli, hacked me off about as much as the donuthead she married because he was so transparently phony and she still fell for his every line. Are women stupid? Even though I despised Jimmy Doyle and was aghast at Francineu0026#39;s glossy eyed belief in every thing that came out of this con manu0026#39;s platinum tonsiled throat, I still enjoyed the film, especially the big band music….and Liza can really belt out a song…besides being pretty.”
