Desert Island Disc Choice

I have worn out my VHS copy of this film and sadly I had to give it a decent burial, after long and faithful service.

The 3 main stars excelled themselves in this witty, well-paced story. Mr Pesci and Mr Gwynne are well-known to me, but Miss Tomei was a delightful discovery. I am not in the least surprised that she waltzed off with the award for Best Supporting Actress.

The superb script, which was sharp, pithy and funny, was excellently delivered by all. Indeed, every one of the characters was drawn with meticullous and exquisite care, and each actor played his/her part to perfection.

There is not one thing about this film which disappoints me. It has been, since my first viewing, and remains after several score of watchings, one of my personal favourites - one I would want to take onto that desert island which mysteriously has a DVD player and the necessary electricity in place.
