Oh, yes. Another masterpiece. As I rewatched Tomorrow last night, I thought how he plays with that boy is like how he plays with the boy in Tender Mercies. His son! And "If You Hold the Ladder (I'll Climb to the Top)" is so so funny and inspired.

Horton Foote. I will be getting to know him. Thank you for the recommendation Anna.
Thanks for reading, Deanna. He's so great.
I didn't know of Foote but am now investigating, and will search out Tomorrow, thank you
It's an unusual movie, and sad
I hate to say it, but many of my favourites are

"A belief in our essential goodness" is more important than it's ever been in my adult lifetime. I'll take all the reminders I can get!
It's hard to hang on to.
Loved the movies, but haven't read his memoirs. Thank you for reminding me how much I missed in my reading.
Loved this piece.
Thanks Pam

Glad to hear you call him that
