Bette Davis in Family Reunion (1981)

Review by bkoganbing

Family Reunion

7/10

Winfield Family Values

Family Reunion is a film about a family named Winfield returning back to a town named for said family. Over the years the family has spread out over the country with one exception. Spinster Aunt Bette Davis stayed in the town and taught elementary school and molded the young minds of the town.

One of the relatives is a US Senator played by David Huddleston. The Winfield family own cooperatively a nice chunk of land and Huddleston has persuaded them to sell to a corporation to build a shopping mall. Even his aunt's piece where her house sits is in danger because who would want to live next to a mall?

It's David versus Huddleston in a battle for the soul of the Winfield family. Family Reunion has a nice Frank Capra like ring to it and we know how it goes with Capra films.

Among the supporting cast look for good performances from Kathryn Walker who is disillusioned with the whole family gig. John Shea as the attorney Davis gets to fight her nephew Huddleston and David Rounds as a brain damaged cousin who speaks a lot of truth as it turns out.

This is one fine made for TV film with the incomparable Bette Davis.
