Hey, I'm from Brooklyn, circa 1956, and loved dat filum...the only things that got me was Buddy's diction, which was at times too polished...he said "her" instead of "huh" for instance, over and again, and the heavy-handed portrayal of racism of the heavily-stereotyped Italian and Irish immigrants...even uneducated men didn't spout racist remarks so publicly either inside the bar or on the street...they may have felt it, but those kinds of public displays are more of the 1980's than 1956...aside from minor incongruities, I enjoyed the film, impressed by the powerful portrayal of lives & feelings of the NYC working class...nice work, all...I cried for half the movie, wanting Buddy and Mary to fall for each other...
