Who’s That Knocking at My Door?

Martin Scorsese
United States, 1967
featuring

Zina Bethune, Harvey Keitel, Philip Carlson, Lennard Kuras,

Martin Scorsese’s first feature film draws on his own life to tell a story of teenagers in New York City’s Little Italy. Harvey Keitel plays J.R., a jobless kid bouncing back and forth between the strict laws of his Catholic upbringing and the tough laws of the streets. J.R. hangs out with the guys and goes out with the “broads,” but he intends to marry a “nice girl.” When he meets a girl, his plan is confounded. Unlike anyone he has ever known, she reads, lives alone, and doesn’t watch TV; moreover, she is a “nice girl” who offers herself to him.
