Richard Price's acclaimed novel about youth gangs coming of age in the Bronx in 1963. The Wanderers, named after the Dion song, are a gang of Italian-American teenagers about to graduate high school, who prowl the Bronx with the feeling that something is slipping away from them. Fascinating, funny and touching. Manz is unforgettable as a scrappy gal. A wonderful 60s soundtrack (Dion, the Four Seasons) colors this coming of age the hard way film.
