Using specialized knowledge—in this case, Mona Lisa’s incredible grasp of automotive mechanics—to provide the "smoking gun." The Marisa Tomei Phenomenon The Plot: A Fish Out of Water Using
The story is classic "fish out of water." Two young New Yorkers, Bill Gambini and Stan Rothenstein, are mistakenly charged with murder in rural Alabama. Facing a potential death penalty, they call upon Bill’s cousin, Vinny Gambini (Joe Pesci), a personal injury lawyer from Brooklyn who has never actually tried a case and took six attempts to pass the bar.
