 | | Set in 1963, Matt Dillon plays a teenage kid from Brooklyn from a solid working-class family, headed by Hector Elizondo as his loving, if volatile, father. |
 | | He gets a job parking cars at the tony Flamingo Club, and starts a summer romance with a pretty, college girl (Janet Jones, before the world knew her as the Thief of Gretsky) who doesn't mind his humble roots and invites him to her uncle's house for dinner. |
 | | There he meets Phil Brody (Richard Crenna, who is marvellous), a self-made man, brilliant gin-rummy player, and very much in need of a kid to idolize him--his wife and daughter are unimpressed. |
