"THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD"  (1996)

MY THOUGHTS:
I had never heard of this movie before, but when I saw the cast list and discovered it is based on a true story, I couldn't help but want to watch. I am glad that I did. The cast did a stellar job, and it was a very well-done movie all around. Definitely worth checking out.
