As directed by Gene Saks and evocatively photographed by John Bailey, the film has a 1930s look that. Here is part one of Neil Simons autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle.
The Jeromes live in a lower middle class neighborhood in Brighton Beach, New York. Sturgis Castīoeing and Ann & Hugh Scott Production Notesīrighton Beach Memoirs was a co-production with the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.

Hilarious and touching, Eugene’s chronicles of his misadventures growing up in 1930s New York remind us that family is the one constant in the crazy journey of life.
Eugene learns about girls, family, relationships, and the impending war. The story of Brighton Beach Memoirs follows almost 15-year-old Eugene Jerome as he grows up in 1937 Brooklyn. Surrounded by his overworked mother and father, his wayward brother and a whole houseful of relatives always in the way, Eugene navigates the minefield of adolescence. Brighton Beach Memoirs is the first play in Neil Simon's semi-autobiographical comedic Eugene trilogy, which also includes Biloxi Blues and Broadway Bound. There’s liver for dinner, holes in his shoes and a war on the horizon, but 15-year-old Eugene Jerome would rather think about baseball…and girls.
