MY COUSIN VINNY, 3E, WEDNESDAY 10 pm

Soon after his turn in Goodfellas Joe Pesci consolidated his position as Hollywood’s favourite loudmouth in this Jonathon Lynn-directed legal farce set in rural Alabama. Playing a shortly Brooklyn lawyer who defends his cousin who has been charged with murder, he is the best thing

in the film, even out-acting Marisa Tornei, who plays his sassy girlfriend.
