Sequence:
The Trip to Bountiful (1985-USA) - Peter Masterson
Cast: Geraldine Page, John Heard, Carlin Glynn, Richard Bradford, Rebecca De
Mornay
108 mins
Adapted by Horton Foote from his own television play, A Trip to Bountiful is
set in 1947 Houston. Carrie Watts is living the twilight of her life trapped
in an apartment in 1940's Houston, Texas with a controlling daughter-in-law
and a hen-pecked son. Her fondest wish -- just once before she dies -- is to
revisit Bountiful, the small Texas town of her youth which she still refers
to as "home." The trouble is her son, Ludie, is too concerned for her health
to allow her to travel alone and her petty daughter-in-law, Jessie Mae,
insists they don't have money to squander on bus tickets. This prompts
"escape" attempts each month which coincide with the arrival of Mrs. Watts'
Social Security check. With writing by Horton Foote ("To Kill a
Mockingbird," "Tender Mercies"), this is the touching story of Mrs. Watts
successful escape and last trip home.
