Lenny Baker stars as an aspiring young actor who moves out of his parents’ Brooklyn home to seek a career in theater. The film co-stars Shelly Winters as his loving, if overbearing, mother and Christopher Walken as his free spirited friend. A conversation between filmmaker Paul Mazursky and screenwriter and frequent Mazursky collaborator Leon Capetanos follows the screening. (1976, 111 min. Rated R. Screened from 35 mm print.
