1982 film by Peter Lilienthal
Dear Mr. Wonderful (also known as Ruby’s Dream in some US video releases) is a 1982 German comedy-drama crime film starring Joe Pesci.[1][2]
Ruby Dennis is a small-time lounge singer who owns a bowling alley. The film follows his attempts to make it big while struggling against the mob and finding romance with Sharon. Dennis lives with his sister, Paula, and her son, Raymond. Paula quits her job and runs off to help the poor, leaving Dennis to keep Raymond away from a life of crime. Ruby ventures toward a spiritual crisis, something that is off-kilter to his surroundings.[3]
Peter Lilienthal, the film’s director, won “Outstanding Individual Achievement: Direction” in the 1983 German Film Awards.[4]
