ニューヨークのダウンタウンに住むロレッタを中心に、人の心を狂わす満月の夜に起こるイタリア人一家のさまざまな出来事をユーモアを交えて描くドラマ。この作品でシェールはオスカーに輝いた。

Harry Valentini and Moe Dickstein are both errand boys for the Mob. When they lose $250,000, they are set up to kill each other. But they run off to Atlantic City and comedy follows.

This is a splendid little sleeper of a movie. Ernie Kovacs was one of the giants of early television. I think he would be pleased with the way Jeff Goldbloom captures his wonky personality.

But at the same time the film is funny --- Cloris Leachman is a hoot as Kovacs impossible mom --- and has many of the offbeat and innovative qualities of the old Kovacs show itself.

A composer—who suspects his wife of cheating—plots to kill her and frame it on her lover, but things don't turn out as planned.
