Brighton Beach Memoirs (1986 Gene Saks)

One of Neil Simon's autobiographical films, set in 1937, with Jonathan Silverman the younger of Blythe Danner's sons, Brian Drillinger the elder and Bob Dishy pop. They also live with Blythe's sister Judith Ivey and her daughters Stacey Glick and Lisa Waltz - with this number of people in the house it's a wonder they're considering also sheltering some immigrant Poles. Danner stands out in cast as strong mum - acute family crises tempered with smart one-liners.

Shot by John Bailey.
