(1992)
With “Broadway Bound,” Neil Simon completes the coming-of-age comedy trilogy that began with “Biloxi Blues” and “Brighton Beach Memoirs” in hilarious, all-star fashion. Corey Parker stars as Eugene Jerome, an aspiring writer who finds a world of humor in the passions and pain of this Brooklyn family: Anne Bancroft (“The Graduate,” “Torch Song Trilogy”) and Jerry Orbach (“Dirty Dancing,” “Crimes and Misdemeanors”) as his mother and father, Hume Cronyn (“Cocoon”) as his feisty grandfather, and Jonathan Silverman (“Weekend at Bernie’s,” “Brighton Beach Memoirs”) as his show-biz hungry older brother. Adapted for the screen from his acclaimed Broadway hit, Neil Simon’s “Broadway Bound” is a bravura performance filled with laughter and heart.
Also starring: Anne Bancroft, Hume Cronyn, Corey Parker, Jonathan Silverman, and Jerry Orbach.
