Richard Dreyfuss, Mercedes Ruehl and Irene Worth star in the acclaimed film adaptation of Neil Simon's Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy, Lost in Yonkers. Set during World War II, Lost in Yonkers tells the story of two brothers who are sent to live with their domineering grandmother after their mother's death. Strong as steel and twice as cold, Grandma Kurnitz (Worth) rules her roost with an iron fist. And caught in her grasp is the boys' lovely Aunt Bella (Ruehl), who has the mind of a child and the dreams of a woman. But when Uncle Louie (Dreyfuss), a small-time gangster with plenty of "moxie" arrives, everyone gets a surprising second chance at happiness. Worth and Ruehl both won Tony Awards for their stage performances, and Dreyfuss adds a scene-stealing turn as Louie. Together with Neil Simon and director Martha Coolidge (Rambling Rose), this remarkable trio of actors makes Lost in Yonkers a magical, must-see voyage of discovery.

Lost In Yonkers Film Synopsis

In the summer of 1942 two young boys are sent to stay with their stern grandmother Kurnitz and their childlike aunt Bella in Yonkers, New York.

Deutsch
Die schlechte Nachricht: Arty und Jay müssen den Sommer über zu ihrer herrischen Großmutter. Die gute Nachricht: Oma hat nur seltsame Vögel unterm Dach. Tante Bella (Mercedes Ruehl), hinreißend schön, aber leicht irre, macht ständig Jagd auf Kerle. Hinter Onkel Louie, dem Dunkelmann mit dem mysteriösen Aktenkoffer und den 1000 Anekdoten, sind hingegen ganz andere Kaliber her. Umlagert von Fies- und Finsterlingen entdecken Arty und Jay ihren Familiensinn ...

Magyar
A frissen megözvegyült Eddie nehéz döntés előtt áll: határoznia kell fiai jövőjéről, és bármennyire nem szívesen teszi, meg kell kérnie Kurnitz nagyit, hogy ameddig ő egy jövedelmező állást nem talál, gondoskodjon a gyermekeiről, Jay-ről és Artyról. A fiúk így közelebbről is megismerkednek a kissé érdes modorú nagyi világával, a népes, ámde kifejezetten különc rokonsággal: a család feketebárányával, Louie bácsival, valamint Bella nénivel és annak kissé furcsa széptevőjével, aki egy moziban dolgozik.

Český
Krize v New Yorku v létě 1942 není nic proti životu dvou bratrů, kteří se dostali do domácnosti své rázné babičky, kde nesmlouvavě vládne železnou rukou.

Pусский
США, городок Йонкерс близ Нью-Йорка. Идет вторая мировая война. Папа привозит двух сыновей Якова и Артура к бабушке: жена его умерла, а по работе ему придется много разъезжать. Бабушка, еврейка из Германии, которую даже собственный сын, гангстер Лу, называет «железной бабой», действительно очень строга, и внуки ее боятся и ненавидят. Она терроризирует свою дочь, дурочку, влюбленную в такого же дебильного билетера из кинотеатра, внуков, всех, до кого она может добраться. Но что-то подсказывает, что не такая уж она и злая. Просто жизнь, очевидно, у нее не сладкая. У дяди Лу крупные неприятности с мафией, и он скрывается в доме бабушки. Он подружился с мальчиками, у которых есть только одна мечта — достать девять тысяч долларов, чтобы отец мог расплатиться с врачами, лечившими их покойную мать…

2차 세계대전이 한창이던 1942년 여름, 얼마전 어머니를 잃고 아버지와 셋이서 살고 있는 아티와 제이. 전쟁터로 떠나야 하는 아버지는 뉴욕 양커스에 있는 완고하기 짝이 없는 독일계 어머니와 맑고 순수한 여동생 벨라에게 두 아이를 맡기고 떠난다. 성격이 차가운 할머니는 아버지와의 사이도 좋지 않을 뿐더러, 모든 사람들에게 공포의 대상이다. 제이와 아티는 10개월 동안 할머니 집에서 살면서 여러가지 일을 겪게 된다. 아이들은 집안의 말썽꾼으로 깡패 두목의 하수인 노릇을 하는 루이 삼촌을 동경하면서 모험심과 용기를 배우게 되며, 일찍 두 아이와 남편이 세상을 떠나자 강하고 상처받지 않으며 살기 위해서는 얼음처럼 차가워질 수밖에 없었던 할머니를 조금은 이해하게 된다.

Siamo nei primi anni Quaranta nei pressi di New York. Due adolescenti vivono con la nonna. Intorno a loro si muovono le figure dello zio e della zia. Il primo, Louie, simpatico e astuto. La seconda, Bella, senza marito e con la testa tra le nuvole.

suomi
"Sukumme on toista maata" sijoittuu toisen maailmansodan aikoihin, jolloin kaksi veljestä passitetaan asumaan isoäitinsä luo heidän isänsä lähtiessään etsimään töitä muualta. Isoäiti Kumitz ei kuitenkaan ole mikään pullantuoksuinen mummu, vaan rautanyrkkinen tyranni, joka pitää tiukkaa kuria yllä perheessä. Kunitzin (Worth) tasapainottavana voimana toimii herttaisesti höpsähtänyt, lapsenomainen täti Bella (Ruehl), josta veljekset saavat oivan liittolaisen. Talossa asustaa myös setämies Louie (Dreyfuss), pikkukonna, joka haaveilee suurista keikoista. Worth ja Ruehl saivat Tony-palkinnon rooliesityksistään ja Dreyfuss tarjoaa todella mieleenpainuvan roolin Louie-setänä. Neil Simonin timanttinen teksti ja ohjaaja Martha Coolidgen sympaattinen kuvakerronta yhdistyvät upeasti tässä laatuelokuvassa, joka vie katsojan keskelle hyvin epätavallisen perheen iloja ja suruja.

Uciekając przed "rekinem" pożyczkowym przerażony ojciec (Jack Laufer) zostawia swych dwóch nastoletnich synów, Jay`a (Brad Stoll) i Arty`ego (Mike Damus) z ich lubiącą dominować babcią (Irene Worth), która prowadzi sklep ze słodyczami w Yonkers. Szybko okaże się, że babcia zapragnie kontrolować ich na każdym kroku i podejmować najważniejsze decyzje. Autorytarzm chłopcom się nie spodoba.
