Fall in love with Minnie and Moskowitz, John Cassavetes’ 1971 romantic dramedy and presented in tribute to the late great Gena Rowlands.
Depressed and jaded after being dumped by her married boyfriend, aging beauty Minnie Moore (Rowlands) wonders if she’ll ever find love. After shaggy-haired parking lot attendant Seymour Moskowitz (Seymour Cassel) comes to her defense from an angry and rebuffed blind date, he falls hopelessly in love with her despite their myriad differences. Minnie reluctantly agrees to a date with Moskowitz, and, slowly but surely, an unlikely romance blossoms between the two.
Earning Cassavetes a Writers Guild of America Award nomination for Best Comedy Written Directly for the Screen, Minnie and Moskowitz is one of Cassavetes and Rowlands’ finest collaborations.
