A wonderfully poignant creation of a certain New York City boyhood of the 1930s, seen simulaneously through the eyes of the child himself and through those of the adult who recollects that childhood. It is a time of innocence and Depression - summer dance bands in the Catskills, comic-strip adventures in the Daily Mirror and rumours of war in the evening news. In a Bronx apartment a mother ekes out the household necessities from the precarious profits of the father's Times Square music store.
