I saw this movie back in the 80's and it is wonderful to be able to see it again. Every line, every gesture, every scene in which Katherine Hepburn and/or Henry Fonda appear is a real joy. As we get older, we appreciate their wonderful work. If you liked this film, I highly recommend you to see "Wrestling Ernst Hemmingway" and "The Straight Story". We can benefit from listening to our elders and remembering we (hopefully) one day will be in their shoes. The generational gap between Billy and Norman can only be filled with mutual care and respect, so it is also a good idea to see this film in family, especially if you can gather grandparents and grandchildren. I did and it has worked miracles on their already good ties.
