i saw this movie on pb the first time . then i buy the video and watch it countless time . every time i watch it and i can get something else out of it . it a real testament to want to hold onto a life that be good and but now the world be change . but you do not have to be old to hold onto the past and even the young character and like charlotte do not want thing to change . the overall tone and mood be excellent . the cast be outstanding with all star like kathy bates and beau bridge and arthur kennedy . and it fun to see the upcoming star before they hit more recognizable feature film and like kevin j. oconnor ( the mummy ) and vincent donofrio ( men in black and law and order represent criminal intent one of my favorite show ) . it just one of those movie that stay with you .
