Actor Robert De Niro's directing debut is a nostalgic memoir of growing up in New York in the 1960s, and covers much of the same ground as Martin Scorsese's GOODFELLAS. Developed from a one-man show written by and starring Chazz Palminteri, A BRONX TALE is at its best in the details: the
swaggering hoods and the local girls with sky-high hair, skinny heels, and tight dresses; the cars and social clubs; the suave jukebox crooners...it's all evoked with a reverent clarity and precision that open a window onto one man's memories of the past, as it was and as he'd like it to have
been.
