  • Summary: Filmmaker Stanley Tucci takes viewers into the poignant and sometimes humorous world of New York City in the 1940s. This is the true story of two men, one of whom would tell the other's story: famed "The New Yorker" writer Joseph Mitchell and New York bohemian Joe Gould. (USA Films)

  1. A delicate yet haunting movie, a meditation on friendship, on the roots of bohemianism, on the sad comedy of madness.
