Lane C Surprisingly addicting film. It's a quiet, yet powerful movie based on William Faulkner's story "OLD MAN". I was so sure I would be bored, but it was just as compelling as any "edge of your seat" drama. The ending is worth the wait. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review alison s A top-rate film with an excellent cast, this is the only Hallmark film I've found to be worth watching, and I've watched it numberless times. It's deeply feeling, hauntingly filmed and without sentimentality. I have it on VHS and wish it were available on DVD. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
