But what makes them worth seeking out is that the majority of them had extraordinarily great casts. Usually the films are headed by two or three names of some repute as is the case here and then peppered with recognizable faces in support either on their way up or reliable character actors. So even if the stories are less than stellar the competence of the cast make them a pleasure to view.<br /><br />Another instance of this also had Julie Harris in the cast "Home for the Holidays" which stretches credibility but with a cast that includes Eleanor Parker, Sally Field, Jessica Walter, Walter Brennan and Jill Haworth besides Julie who cares.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-51973101933554479122016-10-20T20:22:21.776-04:002016-10-20T20:22:21.776-04:00This movie is available on YouTube:
