I watched Crossing Delancey a few years back after you mentioned it and it was wonderful, but I cannot get over the way the pickleman reaches into the brine with his bare hands 🤮
Listen, I know. It's basically the Jewish rom com version of what that creepy ob-gyn did in The Hand That Rocks The Cradle.

Crossing Delancey | Joan Micklin Silver, 1988
Reading the room. A date between Isabelle and Sam is interrupted by an old flame, Nick, whose refuge from married life has always been Isabelle's bedroom. Only tonight she's with someone else, and his insistence on sticking around in spite of Sam's presence is intended as a challenge to a stranger he now sees as a rival. One of them will be leaving soon, and Nick makes himself comfortable in an armchair. It won't be him. Sam, having long since worked out the situation, confidently sets about his business. Instead of throwing him out or confronting him, Sam just talks to him, affably striking up a rapport until, finally, he offers Nick a place to stay the night. Nick's not in a position to argue, and so he doesn't, while Sam walks over to stand with Isabelle. The simple, skilful removal of an obstacle. No fuss, no drama. A quiet victory for a quiet man, and a defiant act of romance.

Today at the TCM Classic Film Festival, FNF prez Eddie Muller will be introducing the 75th anniversary screening of SORRY, WRONG NUMBER,  (1948), 6:30 pm at the TLC Chineese Theatre, House 6.  Barbara Stanwyck gives a tour-de-force performance (Oscar-nominated) as a bedridden woman who, through crossed phone wires, overhears a murder being planned. This engrossing extension of Lucile Fletcher’s legendary 22-minute radio drama is pure noir, tracking an ill-fated romance that spirals into deceit, despair, and death. Featuring Burt Lancaster in one of his earliest roles and richly atmospheric camerawork by the great Sol Polito. Famous, yet still underrated!  Dir. Anatole Litvak

Muller will also be discussing CROSSING DELANCEY (1988) with stars Amy Irving and Peter Riegert prior to the film's 35th anniversary screening, 2:30 pm at the Hollywood Legion Theater. TCMFF notes. An adaptation of Susan Sandler’s play about a young Jewish woman torn between the culturally upscale world where she works and her roots on the Lower East Side. Amy Irving is incandescent onscreen as the woman who dreams of a romance with a cultured author (Jeroen Krabbé) but finds herself oddly drawn to the pickle merchant (Peter Riegert) her “Bubbe” (Reizl Bozyk) has picked out for her. Director Joan Micklin Silver shot on location in New York, capturing the feel of the Lower East Side Jewish neighborhood.

"Morris! Morris!" Morris hears his brother calling excitedly, and sure enough, the boy comes barreling towards him at speeds he never thought he could reach.
"What is it? Somethin' wrong?" He says, cocking his head to the side. Even in his small worry, he couldn't help giving the smallest smile. His younger brother always seemed to have that effect on him.
"Nothin' wrong! Buuutt, look what I found!" Oscar grinned, before pulling something from his pocket- a small red bandanna.
Morris knew what it was, but still put on his best clueless look. "Yeah? What's that for, huh?"
"Dunno. I found it in Dad's drawer. Said he got it when he was just a kid and had kept it ever since. He said he wasn't usin' it, that I could have it and all, but I thought about it, and-" He suddenly thrusted the accessory towards his older brother, "thought it complimented ya a bit better."
Morris quiets, staring at his brother. Very gently, he takes the bandanna in his hands. Morris had never been one for dressing up all nice, not when he always got so dirty at work, but something in the way Oscar smiled, stared at him with anticipation. It's special to him. Oscar was special to him. He couldn't say no.
Morris smiles. "Thanks, Osc. I'll- hold onto it."
And he did.
Now, here they were. Years later. Morris finds himself staring at the damn bandanna some nights, lost in the memory that felt like just yesterday. And as he looks between it and his brother, so much older and yet still so young, fast asleep against the wall in a rickety old bed in the Refuge, clearly uncomfortable but with no other real options, he can't help but think.
Where did it all go wrong?
