Preston transparent and vital,-Sylvia Sydney, heartbreakingly real in this story of the end of a marriage and a life...and the beginning of a new one.

Robert Preston, "Lonelyhearts newswriter" discouraged, sour on life, caretaker to his wife of many decades; Sylvia Sydney, in a role of heartbreaking depth, his wife, slipped in dementia; Mary Tyler Moore, the woman who's had it all go wrong, together in a story of life at its ending and its beginnings. Superb.

great writing, acting and actors

Typical Robert Preston acting at his best then add MTM and you have one great movie. Preston seems to be in a rut at work and at home with his ailing wife who is senile and refuses to throw anything. MTM is in almost the same boat but is widowed and having an affair with a funeral parlor owner. And their affair is going nowhere at all. Eventually Robert Preston and MTW meet and start sharing their secrets and lives. Movie is clean and well written, made for both Preston and Moore. The movie touches every nerve in your body with humor, sadness and everything in between. These two old acting pros make this movie shine. Highly recommend seeing it if you can find it. Very rare !

This Hard-To-Find Movie is a classic!

This is a movie so relevant to baby-boomers --starting with a depiction of someone taking care of a relative (in this case, a wife) with dementia, and still trying to have a little bit of a life -- something many of us cope with on a daily basis. I first saw this movie on HBO when it came out in 1985, curious because the NPR had completely trashed it, completely mischaracterizing the relationship between Robert Preston and his wife, the sad, lost Sylvia Sidney. Sam Waterston isterrific as the lily-livered man who cheats on his wife with Mary Tyler Moore, and the friendship between Moore and Preston is grown-up and just lovely. This movie is impossible to find except on VHS, which is really a shame.

The Stars Shine in this Simple Story of Love, Friendship, ad Obligation...

FINNEGAN BEGIN AGAIN was a delightful made for HBO TV movie about a lonely advice columnist (Robert Preston in a lovely performance), trapped into caring for his senile wife (Sylvia Sidney) who develops a relationship with a woman (Mary Tyler Moore) who is equally trapped in a dead end affair with a married man (Sam Waterston). This movie lovingly tells the story of two desperately lonely people, trapped in lives they don't know how to get out of and find solace and friendship in each other. The movie is well-written and directed and the stars, particularly Preston, are just wonderful. I don't know if this one is on DVD but it should be. If you can find it, try to catch this underrated gem.

Finnegan Begin Again

Warm comedy about an unlikely romance that develops between a cranky newspaperman (Preston) and a middle aged widow (Moore). Lovely chemistry between both stars, but it is the irreplacable Preston who charms his way into our hearts.
