I saw this movie, THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, many moons ago and this song came back to me tonight. Whether you are religious or not, this song is beautiful. An old Baptist hymn I believe. The movie is poetic and moving. One to see.
The late, great Texan, Horton Foote, award winning playwright and legendary screenwriter, wrote this movie. TENDER MERCIES and TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD were two of his most famous works. He even suggested Robert Duvall play Boo Radley in the movie. They would work together many more times as Horton thought Duvall a great actor. Geraldine Page won Best Actress at the Academy Awards for Trip To Bountiful. Isn't it funny how some things never leave you?
Not to give too much away about the film, I titled the picture on my header, I'm Runnin' Away - never associated it with the film till this post.
