Big Night (6/9) Movie CLIP - I Should Kill You (1996) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Primo (Tony Shalhoub) and Secondo (Stanley Tucci) serve their secret recipe, Timpano, which causes an uproar.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this witty drama, a pair of brothers debate integrity versus compromise as they try to succeed in the restaurant business. Primo (Tony Shalhoub) and Secondo (Stanley Tucci) have journeyed from Italy to New Jersey in the mid-1950s, determined to make a killing with an authentic Italian restaurant, The Paradise. But their food is a bit too authentic; Primo may prepare a superb risotto, but most of his customers are wondering why they can't get a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. Secondo tries to convince his brother not to berate the customers for requesting more "American" dishes, but Primo stands firm. Meanwhile, Pascal (Ian Holm), another local restaurateur, is doing great business with "Italian style" food the brothers wouldn't bother to spit on. Despite Primo's refusal to change his recipes to cater to lowbrow tastes, Secondo goes to Pascal begging for advice. With The Paradise on its last legs, Pascal offers to help -- Louis Prima, the famous Italian-American bandleader, is coming to town, and Pascal is to arrange a banquet in his honor. He'll stage the banquet at The Paradise in the hopes that Prima and his entourage (and hopefully the accompanying press) will fall in love with the authentic food and sing the praises of the foundering restaurant as he tours the country. The preparations for the big night and the behind-the-scenes family drama that ensues is highlighted by a strong supporting cast of Minnie Driver, Isabella Rossellini, and Allison Janney. Stanley Tucci, who plays Secondo, co-directed with Campbell Scott, who has a small but memorable role as a car salesman.

I love how they barely even put it in their mouth and are stunned before it can even register in their taste buds.

I remember watching this movie in the theater. I was on a date with this woman and after the film we were hungry from watching these incredible meals being served that we went directly to a nice restaurant and had a feast. Great movie!!!

[erichodge]

I just watched this movie for the second time. Two thoughts:

1. I love this movie. I love the way it makes its point in the most classic "show, don't tell" way.

2. Dear God, Isabella Rossellini, was absolutely, painfully beautiful in this film. What a work of art...

For those who may not know: When I first saw this movie long ago I didn't know who Tony Shalhoub (Primo) was, I didn't even know his name. I am 100% Italian and I grew up in an environment in which the Italian language was spoken every day. I would have bet my life that Tony Shalhoub was Italian - he speaks it fluently in the movie, his body language, his demeanor and virtually everything about his character _screams_ "Italian", but he is actually of Lebanese ancestry. It was one of the biggest surprises of all my years as a movie goer. His characterization of an Italian was absolutely PERFECT!!!

There is only one thing wrong with an Italian meal, after a couple of days you're hungry again.

[modelleg]

This movie is very high-minded. Full of allegories. Brilliant, actually.

[Johnmag]

This dish looks like something I wouldn’t like but the movie sells it so well I’m salivating like crazy now! 😂

[chriscabcabin]

Came here because Bourdain said he loved this movie in an episode : A Cooks Tour Season 1 Episode 17 LA

[ladeelibra]

It's About The "Journey, " NOT The "Destination."

[ahmad]

The scene that created Binging with Babish!

[CookingwithKyler]

[wizeone]

Maybe you have to be Italian to really get this movie, I've seen it 10 times and gets better every time.

[sigrun]

Abelhawk. It´s all about the flavour. The first impression. <3
