Diner, the classic 1982 Barry Levinson Baltimore Maryland
1950s coming-of-age melodrama ("Suddenly, life was more than french fries,
gravy and girls.") starring Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Mickey Rourke,
Kevin Bacon, Timothy Daly, Ellen Barkin, and Paul Reiser. Note that virtually
every single actor and actress in this movie (who were mostly unknown at this
time) went on to significant careers, a real compliment to the casting director
of this movie, Ellen Chenoweth, who could really spot talent!

Storyline
Early twenty-something Baltimoreans Eddie, Shrevie, Boogie, Billy, Fenwick and Modell have been friends since they were kids, and the center of their lives has been and still is the Fells Point Diner. In the last week of 1959, Baltimore Colts fanatic Eddie is scheduled to marry Elyse on New Year's Eve, but might call it off if she doesn't pass his Colts quiz on the 29th. Inexperienced Eddie turns to the only other married one of their bunch, electronics salesman and music aficionado Shrevie, for advice, but Shrevie might not be the best marriage advisor since he doesn't yet realize he probably married his wife Beth for the wrong reasons. Beth has lost her sense of identity, is unhappy in her marriage, and contemplates having an affair with someone who provides what she believes is a sympathetic shoulder. Hairdresser and law school student Boogie is the player of the bunch and has major financial problems because of his quest for the fast buck. Generally strait-laced Billy, Eddie's best man who has been away getting his MBA, has come back to Baltimore a few days early to clarify his relationship with his girlfriend Barbara. Smart-aleck Fen is a college dropout who lives off his trust fund and doesn't much like his family--just what their money can buy him. And insecure Modell is afraid to ask for anything directly. As 1960 approaches, they collectively deal with how to truly be adults
