A homeless man wanders around a wintry America (with his cat) in search of relatives and a place to live, meets various characters en route, finally puts down roots in the sun. Good, whimsical, enjoyable entertainment, doesn't really end up anywhere story-wise.
Art Carney (won the Oscar), Ellen Burstyn, Herbert Berghof, Philip Bruns, Cliff de Young, Josh Mostel, Melanie Mayron, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Barbara Rhoades, Chief Dan George as medicine man: "I can cure anything! What's bursitis?"
Co-written with Josh Greenfeld, photographed by Michael Butler. The music is a bit of a let down. The editor is Richard Halsey. who's still working but sadly not on anything interesting since Edward Scissorhands, Joe versus the Volcano, Beaches, Down and Out in Beverley Hills, Moscow on the Hudson, American Gigolo, Rocky, Next Stop Greenwich Village, and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
