VideoDisc An MGM/UA Home Video Presentation Diner " Extremely funny...The happiest surprise of the year! " -NY Times RCA VIDEODISC CED :: Capacitance Electronic Disc System 110 Minutes / Color © 1982 MGM/UA Entertainment, Co. Starring: Steve Guttenberg Daniel Stern Mickey Rourke Kevin Bacon Timothy Daly Ellen Barkin " For a comedy that has wit, pathos, and bite, you're in for a real treat at the Diner! This lively and penetrating tale of a group of friends trying to recapture their lost innocence created an immediate sensation among young audiences and critics...and after seeing it, you too will understand what all the raves are about! The young actors - all of whom we're certain to see more of in the future - turn in uniformly superb performances. Their dialogue, their quirks, their aspirations, are all remarkably familiar...making this a rare film experience that is both poignant and wildly funny. The film is set in 1959, in a Baltimore diner where a band of long-time buddies gather to make sense of their lives. Just out of college, they are starting to drift apart, but still they cling to the group rituals they've shared since boyhood. It may be a doomed attempt to hold onto the past, but that won't stop them - and you - from having a real good fling! A veritable feast of high-spirited talent, Diner has earned for itself whopping helpings of well- deserved praise! "A wonderful movie!" (New Yorker) "A gem! A banquet of fast food and funny talk!" (Time) "A work of art!" (NY Magazine). " Used videodisc. This item is approximately the size of a large record (over 12" x 12") It has not been tested and has some wear to the label.
