This is one funny movie

Why is this movie not on DVD?? This is one of the all-time great comedies in movie history. So well made. All of the subtle humor as well as the obvious. Being an Italian and living in NYC, I can certainly relate. There is a lot of great food around everywhere, bakeries and Pizzarias on every corner. The scene of him dipping the bread into the gravy and sprinkling on the cheese is pretty realistic, and just about anybody who is Italian can relate to. So take the gravy out of the freezer, cook up some macaroni and watch this movie. Then, when you are done, break out the cake and the pastries with a cold glass of milk. But please, don't eat too much. Mangia! Mangia!
