Judy Berlin Summary
Director: Eric Mendelsohn
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
Judy Berlin allows the audience to take a glimpse of a day at once strange and ordinary with the residents of Babylon, Long Island. Judy (Edie_Falco) is an aspiring actress who is quitting her job as a "pilgrim" in a local historical museum's display to take her chances in Los Angeles. Her mother is a gifted but bitter schoolteacher (Barbara_Barrie) who has long loved principal Arthur Gold (Bob_Dishy) from afar. However, Arthur has a wife, Alice (Madeline_Kahn), who's more than a bit eccentric and has driven him to distraction. Arthur and Alice have a son, David (Aaron_Harnick), who like Judy has showbiz aspirations (he wants to be a filmmaker), though unlike Judy he has no idea of what to do about it; when Judy and David meet, could romance be lurking around the corner? First-time director Eric_Mendelsohn has equipped this offbeat comic drama an outstanding cast, which also includes Julie_Kavner, Anne_Meara, and Novella_Nelson. Mark Deming, Rovi
