Robert de Niro, Ellen Barkin, Leonardo Di Caprio, Jonah Blechman, Chris Cooper (and, way down cast, Tobey Maguire). Well acted, film isn't too heavy.
Photography by David Watkin, edited by Jim Clark, music Carter Burwell.
Interesting reference to Cheryl Crane, Lana Turner's daughter, who stabbed her mum's abusive boyfriend Johnny Stompanato to death aged 14 but was acquitted on the grounds of 'justifiable homicide'.
And.. Island of Lost Women is a cheesy sounding B movie. Look no further.
And.. included in collection of period songs, Nat King Cole is singing 'Smile', which was based on a theme Charlie Chaplin composed for Modern Times.
