It doesn't get any better
Pair the late Vince Gardenia and Hume Cronyn and you know what to expect. I don't know how many times I've watched this and delight in it anew each time I view it. A gem.
Great Movie!!
This is a great movie starring the late great Hume Cromyn.It's a must see!!
Be prepared to be sad
The acting is superb and the issues presented are compelling. However, this is very depressing, despite the attempt at a positive ending. Admittedly, their residence is pretty posh and they are well cared for by staff, so this is not about the horrors of a nursing home. It is about the sadness of growning old, having friends die, trying to placate family, and doing the best to "keep a stiff upper lip." I think good viewers for this film would be the children of an elderly person and really tough old people.
