The Last Fine Time

Discover the life of a family-owned restaurant in Buffalo, New York, from prewar days to its reincarnation as a swank nightspot in The Last Fine Time. Verlyn Klinkenborg's lyrical style turns this history into an elegy, celebration, and social commentary all at once. Watch the neon sign outside the restaurant dim as an old world way of life passes and prosperous Americans' postwar exuberance comes to an end.
