» it ¢ 28 -- Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, May 18, 1993 Lost in Yonkers is a real movie treat - at the flics with Lost in Yonkers Directed by Martha Coolidge Now playing at the Champion - Centre kik As a rule, I am not a Neil Simon fan, although I concede the man sure can write comedy. My problem with Simon, stems from the fact all his comedy seems so familiar, as though we've heard it all before. Simon's patter and clever zingers can be john foote but grow entertaining, tiresome very quickly. No Much of the credit goes to Director Martha Coolidge, who was wise enough to incorporate the Bragdway cast into the film. Mercedes Ruehl is drop dead brilliant in a smashing performance as Bella, a #tallv handi who has never been permitted to grow up by her domineering mother {Irene Worth). Bella's doubt my theatre backg d tends to prejudice me; I've been "Neil Simon-ed" to death. Imagine my surprise, (and having to admit to my friend Linda Reetham-Clayton) that | liked Lost In Yonkers, in fact | really liked it. Maybe Simon is really growing as an artist, because this film is not all smarf comments and cute patter. N life is changed when a gentle man begins playing attention to her, causing this simple woman to fall in love, much to her mother's hortor. Much of the film is the tug of war between 'the mother and daughter, but we also see Bella's tremendous influence on her two nephews who have to live in her mother's home. Ruehl, who won a Tony on stage as Bella, as well as an Oscar for the Fisher King gives a poignant, wonderfully felt performance straight from the heart. She breathes h brother, a third rate gangster. Yonkers in the Forties never looked so terrific; a wonderful film, that touches upon the d ial for love and tragedy into a character that could have become "cute." Equally fine is Irene Worth as her strict myther, and , Richard Dreyfuss as Bella's [ and p in all of us. Beautifully acted, directed, designed, and yes, written. Lost In Yonkers is a movie treat.
