A scathing indictment of how we let our elderly get lonely. Shot in beautifully poised black and white, this short slowly shows us a day in the life of this older, lonely man, whose been alone since his wife died 9 years earlier. Hard to find online, but the BFI DVD might be totally worth it, if the rest of the films on there are as great as this one. Very moving.
Tobolowsky really has a way with words and with telling a story. Sometimes quite funny, but at times very moving, Tobolowsky and first time director David Chen give us a peak into the character actor's thoughts about why we tell stories and into his own life. And it is quite something. Reflections on Hollywood, fame, family, getting older, loss and love are interwoven in a seamless fashion. It might no be a film like the ones most people watch on a regular basis. But in this case that's most certainly a credit.
Anyone worrying it might be boring just watching Tobolowsky doing a show, can rest assured: this is a quite a spellbinding film.

this movie came highly recommended by my tv guide. before I went to watch i checked the imdb, so maybe now I'm prejudiced, but the rating below six sounds about right to me... Not so good a movie, but watchable, jeff bridges is ok, but james woods has certainly done better. music is a bit simple, i would expect a bit more from Taylor Hackford who surprised me with Devil's advocate and blood in, blood out. Rachel Ward's character reminded me of the character of Moira she played in on the beach. The song by Phill Collins is great, although it can be a bit of a cliche when you hear it too often....
