Film SynopsisJudy Berlin allows the audience to take a glimpse of a day at once strange and ordinary with the residents of Babylon, Long Island. Judy (Edie Falco) is an aspiring actress who is quitting her job as a "pilgrim" in a local historical museum's display to take her chances in Los Angeles. Her mother is a gifted but bitter schoolteacher (Barbara Barrie) who has long loved principal Arthur Gold (Bob Dishy) from afar. However, Arthur has a wife, Alice (Madeline Kahn), who's more than a bit eccentric and has driven him to distraction. Arthur and Alice have a son, David (Aaron Harnick), who like Judy has showbiz aspirations (he wants to be a filmmaker), though unlike Judy he has no idea of what to do about it; when Judy and David meet, could romance be lurking around the corner? First-time director Eric Mendelsohn has equipped this offbeat comic drama an outstanding cast, which also includes Julie Kavner, Anne Meara, and Novella Nelson. Get Involved |

Alice Gold: I wanted children and I gave birth to a viper. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David: I always wanted to make a documentary about this town... about... about the paperboys, and about... about the PTA ladies... but nothing sarcastic... nothing sarcastic. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David: It could just be about how it is... about what it looks like when nobody's looking.
