Summary

Singer Tony Bennett and film critic David Edelstein on this edition of Fresh Air. Tony Bennett turned 80 years old yesterday. A grocer's son, Anthony Dominick Benedetto was born in Astoria, Queens in 1926. After working as a singing waiter in his teens and then following service in the U.S. Army, he auditioned for Columbia Records and launched a career that started off with his first big hit "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (1950); he went on to include "I Want to be Around," "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," and "The Good Life". In the 1970s he recorded a couple of now classic albums with pianist Bill Evans. In the 1990s he was "rediscovered" by the MTV generation.

Then, film critic David Edelstein reviews Little Miss Sunshine starring Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, Toni Collette, and Steve Carrell. [Broadcast Date: August 4, 2006]
