Description
Annie Nations has spent her whole life in the Blue Ridge mountains, most of it with her husband, Hector. He's gone five years now, buried back in the orchard, but he's never far away?slipping into her thoughts, watching her do chores?still thinking he knows best even now when her country singer son (John Denver) is pressuring her to sell the farm. But in the autumn of her life, Annie Nations will decide for herself whether to hold on to what she's always known or follow her heart to the other side of the mountain. Jessica Tandy radiates dignity in her Emmy Award-winning performance as the proud mountain woman caught between the traditions of the past and the pressures of modern life. And Hume Cronyn is superb as her cherished mate who haunts her memories as clearly as the sweet mountain melodies that flow through the seasons of their lives.

A charming Hallmark movie. The story is deep and endearing.
A woman living on her homestead is faced with the decision of either staying or selling. She visits with her ghost of a husband up on the hill where he is buried for his advise. Her son wants her to come and live with him. The ending is excellent and satisfying.

I was lucky enough to see this on stage when Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy toured with it in the mid 80s (Keith Carradine had the John Denver role in that version). Then I was thrilled that they turned it into a film so it would "live" forever. It's a superb script and basically a three-person cast, who pull it off with such dignity and aplomb. Its themes are universal and the story unfolds beautifully. Rent it, buy it...do anything. Just watch it!

Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn, and John Denver are great in this wonderful story of a elderly woman who loves where she is living. Even though a harsher environment than the city, she would rather die with what she is familiar than in strange new place. John Denver turns in a great performance as their son. If you enjoy Hallmark movies you will love this one. Most Hallmark movies are pretty good, but Tandy and Cronyn made this and "To Dance with the White Dog", and they are excellent. Many people bought the VHS, or enjoyed them on TV. Now you can get it on DVD.
Loved it November 11, 2003
