This is one of my favorite movies. Amy Irving shines as the hesitant young woman being wooed by the very appealing Peter Riegert, owner of a pickle store. Her delightful but meddlesome Jewish grandmother, whom she calls "Bubby," is worth watching... Full review

I would have liked it to be a little more coddled in its presentation because this movie has some really nice songs on it.
There is no denying that Irving and Riegert and both immensely appealing but the true scene stealer here is the late and wonderful Reizl Bozyk who was a veteran actress on the Yiddish stage where she cut her acting chops for 50 years.

"Crossing Delancey" has its charms, but they are of a highly perishable sort; the more you think about it, the more mixed your feelings become.
Perhaps we could feel better about the movie if Riegert's character weren't so underwritten.

Izzy, for instance, trying to foist uncouth Sam on her desperate friend Marilyn (Suzzy Roche), sets up a dinner date with Sam.
