What's John watching?

Big Night (1996): I hadn't even heard of this one, but as soon as Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub were billed I knew I was in for a good time. Now I'm no historian, but the illusion of Italian immigrants trying to make it in... 1940s? 1950s? America was complete; as far as I was concerned anyway. And Ian Holm! Is there anything that man can't do? I was convinced that Pascal (Holm) was Italian. Beautiful performance. Well, what I saw of it, anyway: they shut the movie off an hour and a half in, even with another half hour to go in the flight. :-( Oh well, I'll have to rent it; watching this one again would be a treat. ¶ 5:10:00 p.m.
