DRAMA
Lost in Yonkers is a coming of age tale that focuses on brothers Arty
and Jay, left in the care of their Grandma Kurnitz and Aunt Bella in Yonkers,
N.Y. Their desperate father, Eddie, works as a traveling salesman to pay
off debts incurred following the death of his wife. Grandma 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 is a small-time,
tough-talking hoodlum who is on the run, while her sister Gert suffers
from a breathing problem with causes more psychological than physical
problems. Lost in Yonkers climaxes with a dramatic confrontation between
embittered mother and lonely daughter that creates a permanent fissure
in this highly dysfunctional family.
