Title: An Epitome of Acting that was Overlooked
Product review: Had this movie in VHS years ago and gave it away. Finally, released in DVD. If you appreciate acting for what it is, you will love this movie. Duvall and Harris hit the ball out of the court. MacLaine and Bullock do great supporting jobs as well. Two retired men become friends of sorts. One is a retired seaman, the other a Cuban barber. One is a salty curmudgeon, the other a rather proper gentleman. The story starts when the two meet each other in a park. From this point on, a developing friendship starts to unfold. The performances given by these two veteran actors are second to none. Although the overall theme of the story is rather melancholy, it is an overall depiction of a facet in some people's lives. The movie is a hidden gem that for some reason, was never well publicized. In my humble opinion that was a big mistake and deprived appreciative moviegoers of a unique experience.
