700 Sundays (film)
700 Sundays is a 2014 American filmed performance of Billy Crystal's one-man autobiographical Broadway show of the same name. The filmed version captures a performance of the show and was broadcast as a television special on HBO.
The show, and therefore the film, centers on Crystal's upbringing in Long Beach, Long Island, and his relationship with his father, Jack Crystal, who died when Crystal was 15. The title refers to the approximate number of Sundays Crystal spent with his father before his death. It also explores his relationship with his mother and other influential figures in his life, blending humor and poignant reflection.
The film, directed by Des McAnuff, preserves the theatrical experience for a wider audience. It features Crystal performing on a stage set designed to resemble his childhood home. The show received positive reviews for its humor, honesty, and emotional depth.
