[@tonywalton1052]

+Onlylettuce92 I'm putting plastic on my sofa right now, and i'm in the Caribbean. Everyone should do it, it gives the living room a certain look

[@paolotubo74]

Irish people have more similitaries with the italians than english people.

[@davidmichaud6922]

Catherine Scorsese was a terrific lady! RIP, signora.

Oh my goodness i love this!! I wish i was born into an Italian family. Growing up in Jersey I stayed at my Italian friend's home. I love how close Italian family are and their great interactions!!

[@iReporteriReporting]

This film makes me sad and happy that I had Italian grandparents, gone now. But my childhood memory of the accents, the stories, the good, the days. A kuppaah coffeee for uh dime!

This was a very nice video, brings back memories of my growing up in an Italian neighborhood and my admiration for all the influence of the special Italian people in my life over the years.

She's feistier than Edith, though, and he's not caustic like Archie.

Lovely piece of footage. It's almost like scene from one of his films. His parents are such characters.

Omg the plastic furniture and that horrible wallpaper..brings back so much memories lol

[@aitraining]

omg! I have been looking everywhere for this. I have the catherine scorsese cookbook (hard to find too) and they mention this. Thank You!

[@MrAitraining]

I haven't seen this in years. SO great. I also learned to put a little cold sauce in the meatball mix. I'm watching this now as my sauce is going. Catherine also wrote a very hard to find small cookbook that came with stories like you see here.

[@LadyMercutia]

Oh God, thank you for this!

[@lmc2664]

Mrs. Scorsese is so adorable in this interview.

[@gmgroucho77]

It "pulls you back in" from the first moments. I especially love the way SHE'S directing HIM ...meanwhile he'd recently finished making the brilliant Mean Streets. What an engaging woman and certainly not shy of the camera. Dad warms up after a while. An absolutely wonderful gem with lovely insights into a family's social history. Thanks for posting.

[@LadyMercutia]

Me too! She was a natural.

"Ma its a sin"

[@woodfern909]

After ten years of marriage, I’m sitting with my wife, and I already don’t have much to say to her. To which she says, (I kid you not, just like Mrs.Scorsese,) “Just talk to me!” Sheesh!

[@hegstad9]

@jackofclubz Absolutely. Also look out for her in 'The Godfather: Part III' (1990). Catherine Scorsese and Ida Bernardini plays two elderly women who ask Vincent Mancini (Andy Garcia) to rid the neighbourhood of Joey Zasa (Joe Mantegna). Great scene.

[@iReporteriReporting]

Why don't ya ask me the question?- love her!

[@jbot91]

Ohh Yea dats da Flava. On a side note I love how he just decides on an answer instead of explaining that it doesn't matter. I do that

I miss my family. Only the few oldschool is left. youngest just turned 90 (my grandmother) Aunt Tess is 97. I wish I was brought up back east to be closer to my family. Past is drifting away. Our family isn't the same since life moves forward. I watch these videos and get teary eyed. Today people don't have the family connection.

[@Thepomafame]

[@tonywalton1052]

You are american, i doubt you have a passport, if you do, i doubt you've been to italy

I'm from an Irish family but they kind of have the same warmth as the Irish.

[@rub3nski]

Marty's father was in Raging Bull in that scene when deNiro knocked a guy out

[@ertznay]

What he was saying at 7:25 is pretty funny when you consider he was doing the cooking in Goodfellas. I wonder if MS did that as an in-joke.

[@nnvbnn]

me imagino que son personajes de una pelicula, que son los padres de un importante ganster italiano

Omg. I thought first guy was scorsese. That freaked me out!

@topmoviemafia ... pls hav some respect for the great director ... its in every family ... n he has shown it without hesitation or shame ... thts y he is called an artist

[@petraarbiter6732]

Exploitation? The documentary was made in 1974, in their apartment on Elizabeth St., just after Scorsese finished his first film as writer and director, long before his ascent.

[@johnyzero2000]

Famous people's parents are often more entertaining.
