From the mind of John Patrick Shanley, the writer behind such inspired films as “Joe Versus the Volcano” and “The January Man,” comes the Academy Award-winning picture “Moonstruck.” It’s part of the Paramount’s thematic “Romance & the City” double feature with “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” tonight. Starring Olympia Dukakis, Cher and (a very young) Nicolas Cage, “Moonstruck” follows New York-native Loretta Castorini (Cher) on her quest to find security — not love — and escape the supposed curse imposed when her previous husband died unexpectedly. When Johnny Cammareri (Danny Aiello) proposes to her on the eve of his mother’s death, she accepts and promises to help him find his estranged, one-handed brother Ronny to relay the impending news. While Johnny is at his mother’s deathbed in Sicily, Loretta makes contact with Ronny and an unlikely encounter with love.
