Moonstruck (DVD)

Moonstruck (1987) starring Cher, Nicolas Cage, Danny Aiello, Vincent Gardenia, Olympia Dukakis. Simply a delightful movie, set in New York, in which a 37-year-old woman (Cher) agrees to marry an older man (Aiello), but is irresistibly drawn to his younger brother (Cage). Makes great use of music and New York settings to set a mood of mild madness, in which anything can happen, and does. It makes you wish you lived in New York, so that you could visit Little Italy. Cher and Dukakis won Oscars for their performances. Good subtitles. Grade: A
