Yes, David Rappaport was the star of this movie, 10 April 2006
Author: Noir-It-All from Allentown, PA

I saw this film on HBO a couple years after its release. I was eager to see it after seeing David Rappaport with Clancy Brown promoting the film on a morning TV show. He said, "I'm used to stealing scenes but not scenes I'm not even in!" It was true; this actor was the scene-stealer of all time, right up there with Bronson Pinchot and Denholm Elliott. This must have annoyed the producers as the film seemed a little cut off at the end, mainly David's part. After reading these other posts, I want to see the film again. I remember it was beautiful and the story lines seem to have meaning for my fellow viewers. Also, many of my ancestors came from the part of the world in which the story seems to have taken place. So, I'm looking forward to seeing a film set in the "old country."
