This is a film about Italian Catholics in the USA, in the 1980s. Loretta – very well played by Cher – is a down-to-earth bookkeeper, whose husband died suddenly seven years previously. She decides to accept a marriage proposal from the middle-aged Johnny, whom she likes but does not love. He hurries away to the deathbed of his mother, instructing Loretta to get in touch with his estranged brother Ronny. Loretta does just that…
It’s good fun, with some bittersweet moments, some thought-provoking scenes, and some mildly amusing, almost farcical scenes of confusion and misunderstanding. Nicely done, not too caricatured, and a good ending. Recommended.
