About this product
Product Information
Predicated on the observation that an old Sicilian shoeshine man looks pretty much the same as an old Sicilian mafia don, THINGS CHANGE finds comedy and pathos in a case of very mistaken identity. Italian-American acting legend Don Ameche plays Gino, a man with a simple life who is recruited by an underworld boss to take the rap for a murder. Jerry (Joe Mantegna) is assigned to sit on Gino until he goes to confess, and he feels compelled to offer the quiet old man one last good time--in Lake Tahoe, where everyone mistakes Gino for a mob big shot. Soon the pair are getting the royal treatment, while Gino's shoeshine-shop wisdom keeps everyone fooled into thinking he's a powerful man with a humble demeanor. Director David Mamet gets laughs the hard way, developing characters and setting up believably comic situations for them to interact in, even as he lets the tension regarding Gino's fate mount. He also indulges the taste for hoaxes that he explored more seriously in HOUSE OF GAMES and THE SPANISH PRISONER. Behind it all is Ameche, who plays every scene close to the vest and steals the show anyway.Product Identifiers

A comedic and sensitive look at dementia / Alsheimer's in our society; how family matters above and beyond all else.
This is one of the most under-rated heart warming movies made. Dom Ameche was a GIFTED and TALENTED actor and his leading the cast into comedy and family first scripted entertainment shows how flexible he was. I first saw this on a late night OTA broadcast and had wanted to watch it again, but never found it. SO I looked online and put it into the disc player. My partner isn't one for this kind of fare and by half-way through she was a fan. Made me proud I could show her a different kind of film plot to add to her list.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The Mob, The Mafia, The Masterpiece
Don Ameche creates a charming character of a little old Italian shoemaker who becomes involved with the Mob. He is to be protected (and guarded) by Joe Mantegna who himself, has made errors while being groomed for Mob success. This story by David Mamet develops slowly (I actually have one friend who said it was too slow), but stick with it. The characters will involve you, the story will hold your attention and the wind-up is great. Having watched this movie countless times, it has become part of my daily life. Whenever something happens, I always tell people to be patient and thoughtful about it, because...in life..Things Change!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great movie.
This movie is a golden oldie and the 3rd rule in my rules of life - 1) You have choices; 2) You must suffer the consequences of your behavior; 3) Things change. So glad I found the movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
