Big Night   1996         R, 90 min. Genre: Drama Director: Campbell Scott, Stanley Tucci   Cast: Stanley Tucci, Tony Shalhoub, Isabella Rossellini, Ian Holm, Minnie Driver, Campbell Scott, Allison Janney   Set in the 1950s, this is the story of Primo (Tony Shalhoub) and his brother Secundo (Stanley Tucci) who run an Italian restaurant, the Paradise. When the owner (Ian Holm) of the much more successful nightspot across the street talks the brothers into preparing one superb meal in return for which he supplies the means (Louis Prima) to save the Paradise, the "Big Night" is on in this story about how food connects us to each other—and to ourselves.
