	ALAN DALE \| What We Do Best: American Movie Comedies of the 1990s
		In Lost in Yonkers Simon has elaborated the intriguingly unpleasant elements of Brighton Beach Memoirs and Broadway Bound --the mother’s almost supernatural detection of a purloined cookie in the former, for instance--into a family power struggle at once claustrophobic and grand, familiar and yet with a stylized literary compression you wouldn’t expect from him.
		In Lost in Yonkers Simon may think Momma is a round character because the exposition explains her ungivingness, but for me she works because of the way Simon has exaggerated her in fairy-tale terms, an effect enhanced by the movie’s director, Martha Coolidge.
		Thus, Lost in Yonkers has a lot in common with the 1927 Al Jolson movie version of The Jazz Singer, which melodramatizes the transition in values from the older to the younger generation, represented by the Orthodox cantor-father who disowns the son who’d rather sing jazz in nightclubs.

		Yonkers remembers his instrument serving a secondary purpose during some wild shows that he played with the Michael Yonkers Band in the mid-Sixties, when the group's decision to dump surf guitar for screaming rock 'n' roll was being poorly received by suburban listeners.
		Yonkers suspects that Steinberg "might have misrepresented the truth a bit," as the intermediary between the band and the record company.
		Yonkers had planned to issue the recordings on CD himself, but Simonson's offer of a vinyl-only release appealed to the musician's love of retro tech, clinching the deal.

	Lost in Yonkers - Elmer Bernstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Getting lost in Yonkers seems like a terrible careless thing to do and on my visit to this particular part of New York with Mr Southall resulted in very little getting lost, remarkable for a pair so inept at navigation as we.
		Lost in Yonkers was perhaps more of a comedy-drama than an out and out comedy and so at least Bernstein had some dramatic substance to get his teeth into.
		While Lost in Yonkers is not by no means the best entry in this area of Bernstein's output, it is certainly a cut above younger composers writing for similar films, yet again proving how adept he is with smaller scale efforts.
