Over the Brooklyn Bridge is a 1984 American romantic comedy film directed and produced by Menahem Golan, written by Arnold Somkin, and starring Elliott Gould.

The film depicts a Jewish man being forced to break up with his gentile girlfriend.

Alby Sherman is a Jewish man whose father died when he was young.

He and his mother run a luncheonette in Brooklyn, but Alby has negotiated the purchase of an upscale restaurant in Manhattan, a project he cannot finance on his own.

His uncle imposes only one requirement: he will lend Alby the money, but only if he leaves his "shiksa" (gentile) girlfriend.
