Brighton Beach Memoirs September 19, 2010

Part one of Neil Simon's critically acclaimed autobiographical trilogy, this rich and delightful comedy paints a portrait of the writer as a young teen living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class walk up in Brooklyn. Eugene Jerome, the character standing in for Simon, dreams of baseball and girls, and must cope with the mundane existence of his eclectic family. This outstanding and hilarious memoir captures the life of a struggling household.
