Stacy Keach ("American History X," "Escape from L.A.") and Sondra Locke ("The Outlaw Josey Wales," "Sudden Impact") made their film debuts in Carson McCuller's poignant story of a deaf mute (Academy Award-winner Alan Arkin - "Little Miss Sunshine," "Slums of Beverly Hills") who brings warmth into the lives of lonely people in a small Southern town, particularly to a sensitive 14-year-old girl who becomes his staunch friend after an initial period of hostility. Locke and Arkin earned Oscar nominations for their performances. Directed by Robert Ellis Miller ("Hawks," "Any Wednesday"). watch
