Synopsis

Two Gentlemen of Corona

$10.99

Jim Geoghan

Published by Samuel French Inc

5 Male 1 Female

It's 1963 and Joey and Carmine are low-level soldiers in the New York mob

Joey services juke boxes and vending machines and Carmine makes two runs a week to South Carolina for illegal cigarettes

But things are looking up for the pair ...

The 1964 World's Fair is just around the corner and these Two Gentlemen of Corona are plotting to help their boss, John, swindle thousands of foreign tourists

It looks like nothing can stand in their way - except for the fact that Joey is falling in love with his boss's mistress!

This comedy is the perfect light-hearted fare - refreshing and funny, with just a touch of heart
