Not-Available-On-Home-Video Ultra-Rarity! Joey Travolta, John’s older brother, puts the family’s good looks to good use in Sunnyside, playing a sensitive New York street tough with a change of heart. As he tries to break free from gang life and rid his neighborhood of the savage Warlocks, he dreams of moving with his girlfriend to a more peaceful Manhattan.
“[Travolta] handles the role’s minimal and predictable demands well, though, especially in view of the camera’s determination to shoot him only in long shot or in profile. These angles aren’t designed to make the most of his performance; they mean to camouflage the fact that in full-face he doesn’t look quite as much like John.” – Janet Maslin, The New York Times
