King of the Corner is one of those rare films that points out both the drama and humor in a ordinary life. It's main character, Leo could be any one of us. A man in middle age with a job, a family, a father in a nursing home who is just trying to figure it all out. His sharp wit helps him to keep the world at bay until events conspire to make him face his life.
Peter Reigert does a great job of directing a standout cast. Eli Wallach and Rita Moreno are particularly good and Eric Begosian as an non-traditional rabbi is hilarious.
They should make more movies like this!
