Crossing Delancey | Year: 1988 Directed: - Joan Micklin Silver Actors/Actresses: - Amy Irving - Peter Riegert Crossing Delancey is pitch perfect This is THE romantic comedy of the '90's. I first saw this on a PLANE of all places, and fell in love. Peter Riegert (always great) is so wonderfully charming as a man who is far more than the sum of his parts. Amy Irving is wonderfully strong and vulnerable as a woman looking for. . .something more than a pickle salesman. Riegert is ever-mindful of his "place," and never ceases to amaze Izzy by being so. . .much. . .more. . .than he appears. Don't we all hope to be more than we appear? Isn't our real fear that we are so much less? This movie is a treasure. Better Than known romances like "Sleepless in Seattle" This movie made me laugh, cry and root for the hero, Sam. I wanted to shake Isabelle for not seeing his worth. Of course, I knew it would have a happy ending but I was still in suspense on how the final act would play out. Peter Riegert and Amy Irving were superb, and the supporting cast was perfect. I would love to see Mr. Riegert in more movies; he is much more genuine than the "big male Stars" like Costner, Cruise, etc. Literate, Charming Romance! This is the movie that "Moonstruck" WISHES it could have been! Amy Irving and Peter Reigert star in this literate, well written, wonderfully acted New York story in which Upper West Side sophistication meets Lower East Side tradition. Irving's "Izzy" lives in a world of books, editors, writers, and intellectuals, while Reigert's "Sam" owns a pickle stand in the heart of Lower Manhattans old world Jewish community, the East Side below Delancey Street. Sam and Izzy are brought together when Izzy's old fashioned Grandmother hires a matchmaker to find Izzy a suitable man to finally settle down with. Tradition clashes with modern life in New York when Sam enters Izzy's world and forces her to look at herself and those around her.
