Hackman and Douglas deliver two of their finest performances in this film, a compelling drama that garnered Academy Award nominations for them both. This highly acclaimed film brings to life the poignant story of a kindhearted son who devotes his life to winning the affection and approval of his stubborn, opinionated father. Hackman portrays the young, professional son who struggles to care for his recently widowed and aging father. But his efforts to assist Douglas are met with hostility and Hackman's affection is rebuffed. It's only when Hackman is forced to make new living arrangements for him that Douglas finally breaks down and shares his true feelings with his son.
