Golden childhood memory -- golden, literally, in photography -- of the day in the summer of '33 when the La Paloma cinema opened its doors in South Philly. How's the little hero going to raise the twenty-five-cent admission? Mostly stilted and mawkish; a couple of eye-widening episodes of human aberrance that are not so mawkish though no less stilted. With Jerry Barone, Al Pacino, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and first-person narration by Alec Baldwin; directed by James Foley. (1995) — Duncan Shepherd
