HARRY & SON
"HARRY & SON" (1984)
MY THOUGHTS: Although the critics did not, I liked this movie. I thought it was well done and well-acted. I was also impressed that Paul Newman had both written and directed it. With his wife being one of his co-stars it was somewhat of a "family project." I love seeing her in anything, because she is an incredible actress, but I especially like the chance to see them play off each other. The rest of the cast is quite a talented group, who all do a very good job. For those reasons alone, it is worth the watch!
SYNOPSIS: "A construction worker and widower, Harry Keach is a no-frills kind of guy, but his artistically inclined son, Howard, wants to be a writer, causing a rift between the two. Although Howard makes attempts at finding a regular job, he can't help but return to his daydreaming tendencies. As Howard reconnects with his ex-girlfriend Katie Wilowski, Harry becomes closer with her mother, Lilly, bringing both men some degree of happiness."
