[DVD Details]
 
 
  • From the gifted pen of Academy Award-winning screenwriter Horton Foote (To Kill a Mockingbird, Tender Mercies) comes a touching trilogy of American tales set in early 20th Century Texas. At the height of World War I, Elizabeth and her husband face hard times when her previously disapproving father steps in to take care of her children so her beloved can go off to war. Matthew Broderick heads a powerhouse cast in this remarkable drama, whose characters were further explored in two subsequent films.

    This well-crafted and intimate film refuses to over inflate its subject matter, but rather conveys its messages through credible and sympathetic characters.
