Big Night movie is a story of two brothers Primo and Secondo from Italy, who has emigrated from Italy and had open a restaurant Paradise in America. But, there were not able to flourish their business and the banks required repayment of the loan by the end of the month as there have been lots of delays already.
Primo was a conservative man. He didn’t want to alter the food as per the people there wanted. For him food of Italy was more sacred. There was an Italian restaurant opposite to them that was getting more and more popular day by day. It was because of the fact that they were serving what the people wanted. On the other hand, Primo was not at all okay to serve two starch together when the customer wasn’t able to find any seafood in the perfect seafood dish risotto and orders spaghetti and meatball as the side dish.
With a view of taking some valuable feedback from his competitor, the neighboring Italian restaurant, about the business, Secondo approaches the owner Pascal. Pascal gives a very motivating speech to him and tells him that he will arrange for Louis Prima, the great Italian-American singer for a dinner at their restaurant as he was one of good friend of his. This would lead to the publicity by the media in all the newspapers, business will pick up and that the restaurant can be saved.
Secondo starts making the arrangement for the big night with all the money he has. He arranges for the flower, bakery, etc. Primo also starts cooking at his best. He makes dishes like lasagna and many more to name Italian dish at its best. There was a moment when the brother Primo gets to know that the famous singer Louis was arranged by the owner of his competitor restaurant, Pascal. The big feast begins when hours later; it becomes apparent that Louis is not coming and Primo sends one magnificent course after the other from his kitchen. As the audience eats the food, they all become emotional by the taste of the same. They even comment that Louis doesn’t know what he is missing. Still, Secondo keeps the food for just in case Louis turns up! For Primo too, the food was a way to talk to the divine as he tells the flower woman, to whom he was secretly in love and was shy about to say the same.
Gabriella, the mistress of Pascal had a secret affair with Secondo. When Secondo’s girlfriend Phyllis catches both of them, she went to the seashore and Secondo follows her to find her. Meanwhile, being very much influenced by food and hard work of Primo, Gabriella tells him that Pascal never called Louis. Primo goes to find Secondo at the beach which is accompanied by a small fight between the two. Primo puts his suggestion to return back to Rome as his uncle has arrangements for both of them there, but Primo rejects the proposal.
The following morning, Secondo makes omelet and distributes the same between himself, his worker and his brother Primo and movie ends with both of them hugging each other while eating.
Talking about the character of Secondo, he was a very flexible personality. He was open to almost anything to make his business work. But at the same time, he didn’t want to hurt the feelings of his brother Primo. He was so open that he approached his competitor Italian restaurant next to them for suggestions. This made him vulnerable to the manipulation by the businessman. He got inspired by his speech so much that he didn’t do any background check on the same. The loan and the down going business had such a pressure on Secondo’s mind that he didn’t want to commit to his girlfriend Phyllis.
Primo was a very conservative person. He didn’t want to change the cuisine as per the people demand. He rather wanted to make them understand about the significance and relevance of the existing cuisine. Even when, Primo discovers that his brother Secondo went upto Pascal for help, despite of his sadness, he doesn’t ruin his brother’s motive. Primo was very much passionate about cooking. That’s he hated the neighbor restaurant, which provided the food that people want in the name of Italian food. He referred the same as the rape of the cuisine. Again, he puts forward his plan to go back to Rome in Italy in front of his brother Secondo with a belief to include him too. He postpones disclosing the same after the big feast.
But Secondo was very much positive not to leave America, as he tells while they fought at the beach. Instead, Secondo argues with Primo that he doesn’t know how hardly he has been managing the business at macro-level so far.
Pascal, with a mind of businessman, wanted to make the two brothers broke, so that they either join him in his restaurant or return to Italy. He clarifies at the end that he didn’t do so because of the secret affair with his mistress but for the interest of the business. But the godly food of Primo, made him admit his mistake, when his mistress Gabriella discloses his real motive, seeing the hard work of Primo.
The two brother affection towards each other at the end showed that nothing matters to them the most then each other. Primo was staying back in America just because his brother Secondo wanted to and Secondo was not telling Primo to change the way he cooks food. They both have understanding and support for each other.
