...Voices, though, is muffled because every last thing comes out all right in the end. If there isn't going to be a certain amount of real tragedy in the love relationship, then just for realism's sake you'd expect a little in the bothered family. Instead, the younger brother gets out of gangs and into civility, and the father, who the day before burned down his tailor shop for the insurance money so he could pay off his bookie, somehow turns up for the disco's opening night where he beams at his son who somehow (not through...
...growing problem on the street is that the traditional codes revered by the Hasidim are not as deeply ingrained in what they refer to as the street's "new element."

But instead of sentimentality, Wain offers genuine sentiments. Instead of passion enveloping quivering loins in petals of fire, there is a steady sensuous glow that warms the brain...
...despairing woman. In one scene she darts across the stage, childishly reveling in the attention she receives; in the next, she stonily recalls her former happiness and despairs of finding fulfillment in work or love. Clark uses a completely different tone, inflection, gestures and stage movement to differentiate the younger and older Irina...
