About Can She Bake a Cherry Pie?
Zee is walking up and down Manhattan streets, talking to herself and to the husband who has just left her. At a sidewalk café she runs into Eli, and a very unlikely, funny and touching relationship develops between two lost souls in the big city.
Directed by Henry Jaglom, Can She Bake a Cherry Pie? leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Emil, Karen Black, Michael Margotta — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1983.
