Not an award winner. Clearly they tried to make it so but the acting fell short just a bit all the way around. Ricky was the only one that went Over the Top but it was OK, just missed a little.
By the way, this is NOT John's "finest performance". I'll take him in "Coming Home" over this any day.
Also, I did not know this was a remake when I was watching it, i JUST found out here today. Now I must watch the original, which are always better.
I love John and all he does, Strother Martin never fails to get it done right, nor does Jack Warden, EXCELLENT actors. This was a tad long but i was glued the whole time, regardless of its short-comings in MY mind.
