| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Jericho Mansions |
|---|
Leonard (Caan) is the super for a building that's old and falling apart. The landlady's husband has just died and tenants -- all of whom are unsually quirky -- are pushing for changes, including a new security camera that would end his job. When one of the tenants pushing for thse changes is found dead after being hit and falling through the garbage shute, all fingers seem to point at Leonard.
