Summary: 3 Stars
This one was ok, but I have seen better. James Earl Jones and Hume Cronyn
were both very good in this as always.
Summary of Horton Foote's - Alone
Intricate and subtle family relationships are the focus of this perceptive film written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Horton Foote (author of Tender Mercies). Actor Hume Cronyn turns in a brilliantly understated performance as widower John Webb, an elderly Texas farmer who is trying to cope with the loss of his wife and what seems to be a sudden lack of purpose in his life. When an oil company expresses an interest in drilling on his land, Webb's relatives suddenly see a chance for fast cash, and his placid demeanor is sorely tested. While Cronyn takes center stage, this production from the Showtime network also benefits from a wonderful cast that includes James Earl Jones, Shelley Duvall, Ed Begley Jr., and Frederic Forrest. The Texas setting is beautifully depicted, with Foote's screenplay providing poignant local touches to illuminate the lives of the characters. While the pace is not terribly fast, a momentum does develop, and the motivations of everyone--including greedy nephews, irresponsible daughters, obnoxious children, and, thankfully, some kindly old friends--slowly emerge. This is a story both gentle and gripping. Cronyn gives his character a quiet dignity, and his masterful performance and the unavoidable family conflicts give the film a remarkable resonance. --Robert J. McNamaraDrama DVD Video
