Today we have poster and clips from comedy “City Island,” directed by Raymond De Felitta who is is best known for directing “Tis Autumn: The Search for Jackie Paris” and Two Family House”.
Based upon De Felitta‘s original screenplay, “City Island” is the story of a Bronx prison deputy Vince Rizzo (Garcia) who recognizes a prisoner (Strait) as his grown child whom he sired with another woman twenty years earlier.
