a frightening look at a once thriving neighborhood which become the subject of decay . veteran pro lee strasberg and ruth gordon be a married couple who live in brighton beach and brooklyn and be literally terrorize by the gang there . it be nice to see the wonderful lillian roth attempt a comeback in this film . a a tenant in an apartment building in brighton and this film mark miss roth return to the screen follow a 44 year absence . she be effective though her part be brief . while her good look fade with the year and she still have that pretty smile and i think that at one part she would break into a medley of her former song . strasberg inner world be fall apart just like the neighborhood . stricken with cancer and gordon dy literally in his arm . the end be totally unrealistic . could a man like an elderly strasberg overpower one of these gang member . come on now . nonetheless and for nostalgia buff and the film be worth see .
