i saw this film on a saturday morning and love it . it about a man and his wife and their two child and the grouchy grandma and who be dirt poor ( and i mean that literally ) farmer . it base on the book by george session perry call hold autumn in your hand and but the movie and the book be completely different in style and manner . i personally like the movie more and a it show the family togetherness much good than the book . a wonderful renoir film ( i think my favourite of all his ) and definitely a must see . the courage of the family be really touching . i give it a. positive .
