City Island

Andy Garcia and Julianna Margulies are Italian American New Yorkers living with their two children on 'City Island'; an old fishing village in the Bronx district. Each is keeping secrets from the others.

I could describe this as a quiet little comedy except for the fact that playing Italian American New Yorkers - and beautifully against usual type - Garcia and Margulies shout a lot. Nevertheless, I found the characters and situations endearing and enjoyed plenty of chuckles as the secrets unravel.

Who knew that New York contained such an interesting suburban waterside area?

  2. I once knew someone who lived on City Island. Back in the 70s. Yes, the nineteen seventies. Thanks for asking. ;)
