Tom Cairns' cinematic film, made in 2001, presents Bernstein's short opera set in 1950s America with dramatic direction and wonderful sets. Leonard Bernstein's satire on American suburban married life stars Stephanie Novac... more »ek as Dinah and Karl Daymond as Sam facing a serious marital breakdown, from which the latest movie release Trouble in Tahiti seems the only escape.
