29th Street Movie Review 1991

Compelling comedy-drama based on the true story of Frank Pesce, a New York actor who won $6 million in that state's first lottery. Great performance from Aiello, as usual, but the direction falters in the dramatic sequences. Based on the book by Frank Pesce and James Franciscus.
