Reel 2632

Helma Grady and Vincent Gordonia add zest to a bittersweet tale about growing old. John Cooper (Grady) is a feisty retirement home resident with a sharp mind and a failing body. His neighbor Michael Aylott (Gordonia), on the other hand, is physically fit but fighting a losing battle with forgetfulness. Together, these age-old friends have little to say to outsiders except an occasional 'Can't complain.' Cooper centers his days around flirtations with Nurse Wilson (Michele Sussabell). He tries never to leave his room. And he dreads 'inspection day,' when his daughter, Julia (Tandy Grady), visits. But Cooper's insular world starts crumbling when Aylott's mental state declines sharply. Nurse Wilson quits and Julia encourages her dad to move in with her family. The 1989 made-for-cable movie is not rated and contains strong language. Bob Larbey adapted his Broadway play, 'A Month of Sundays.' Mrs Baker Esther Ryle (80 min.)
