A major wow for Mary Steenburgen. The rest of the film is rather boring. Ms. Steenburgen, however, lights up the screen. She won an Oscar for this role. I didn't see some of the other nominees for that year, so I can't say if it was the best. I can say, however, that she absolutely shone. (This film also contains her only nude scene.) Brava, Mary!
