i will not forget this movie for the rest of my life . although the direction be excellent with a very good script and good production value and the performance be the standout aspect of this remarkable film . alan arkin and sondra locke make the film work and be both nominate for oscar for their work here . their scene be magic and but arkin be easily the strong performance of the two . the support cast be very good and but chuck mccann deserve special mention here . a comedian who work have mainly be very lighthearted and he play a straight dramatic role here and do a excellent job . a very human and very touching and very emotional film and the last 15 20 minute will stay with you a very long time . turner classic movie run this on occasion and it be currently in print . most highly recommend .
