The Straight Story - DVD
Posted: Sun Feb 04, 2007 1:11 pm
Plot ... "Alvin Straight is a no-nonsense man who has never been one to lean on others. Now at an age when his eyesight denies him the ability to drive, and walking is accomplished only with the help of two canes, Alvin lives a quiet life with his daughter Rose. But when the call comes that Alvin's estranged brother, Lyle, has suffered a debilitating stroke, Alvin embarks on a dangerous and emotional journey to make amends. With little money, but plenty of patience and tenacity, he climbs aboard his lawnmower and plots the 260-mile course from his small Iowa town to Lyle's home in Wisconsin."
Starring ... Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek
I have been trying to find this movie for a few years ... the wait was well worth it! This is a terrific heart warming, compassionate, up lifting movie with wonderful performances by Richard Farnsworth and Sissy Spacek. The movie moves at a slow pace ... but it suits the story perfectly.
I don't understand why this movie is not more available in video stores ... at least here in Canada. I finally managed to rent it by mail from Rogers Video Direct.
Highly, highly recommended ... a truly wonderful movie for all ages!
