Directed by Jonathan Lynn from a screenplay by Dale Launer, My Cousin Vinny was released in March 1992. The critically acclaimed and commercially successful courtroom comedy follows the unlawful arrest of Bill (Ralph Macchio) and Stan (Mitchell Whitfield), two New Yorkers wrongly accused of murder while passing through Alabama. With few options to turn to, Bill recruits his cousin Vincent LaGuardia Gambini (Joe Pesci) to represent him and Stan in court, despite lacking experience in a murder trial and generally having no clue what he’s doing.
