Movie adaption of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play. This coming of age tale is set during World War II. Lost in Yonkers focuses on brothers Arty and Jay, who are left in the care of their domineering Grandma Kurnitz and Aunt Bella in Yonkers, New York by their desperate father Eddie. Eddie needs to work as a traveling salesman to pay off debts incurred following his wife's death. Their eccentric Aunt Bella (Mercedes Ruehl) teaches them how to generate love in an atmosphere where it has never been permitted to exist. Grandma (Irene Worth) is a severe, frightfully intimidating immigrant who terrified her children as they were growing up, damaging each of them to varying degrees. Bella is a sweet but mentally slow and highly excitable woman who longs to marry an usher at the local movie house so she can escape the oppressive household and create a life and family of her own. Her brother Louie (Richard Dreyfuss) is a small-time, tough-talking hoodlum who is on the lam, while her sister Gert suffers from a breathing problem with causes more psychological than physical. Missing much of the sentimentality of the plays comprising Simon's earlier Eugene Trilogy, Lost in Yonkers climaxes with a dramatic confrontation between bitter mother and lonely daughter.
