From a Larry McMurty novel. Fabulous performances from Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson. Everyone else worthy: Debra Winger, Jeff Daniels, John Lithgow, Danny de Vito, Lisa Hart Carroll, Huckleberry Fox and Troy Bishop (the boys). Albert Brooks provides the off screen voice of MacLaine's husband.
Favourite scenes ('She doesn't have enough money', deathbed, 'Lunch' date, funeral etc.) remain so.
DP Andrzej Bartkowiak, editor Richard Marks, production designer Polly Platt, makeup Ben Nye Jr. Michael Gore's music has lost its allure. David Davis, a writer on Rhoda, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Taxi was 'special advisor'.
