Rue McClanahan

The Fighting Temptations -- A New York advertising executive travels to a small Southern town to collect an inheritance but finds he must create a gospel choir and lead it to success before he can collect.

Out to Sea -- Two old men board a cruise ship with the intent of defrauding rich widows.

What are the necessary lies that soothe tenuous family ties? What are the painful truths that can break them? One daughter is given the chance to rediscover them for herself—if she has the courage and the heart to forgive… Career is top priority to beautiful and self-sufficient Dr. Sydney Ludwick (Lisa Hartman, Knots Landing). Ever since medical school, her flourishing profession has taken precedence over personal attachments. Altruistic, overworked, and dedicated to a fault, Syd is inspired by the final words of a dear patient. The advice she takes to heart is to relax, appreciate life, and take time off for herself. Opportunity arises when Syd receives an invitation to her twentieth high school reunion. But that means returning to the petty squabbles of her rural hometown rivals, reacquainting herself with Gus Martin (Dale Midkiff, Love Comes Softly), the fondly remembered childhood sweetheart she left behind, and reuniting with her estranged mother Helen (Emmy winner Rue McClanahan, The Golden Girls), a widow shadowed by her husband’s death and a troubling family secret. When the prodigal success arrives in Bloomfield, she’s surprised to find her family home turned into a bed-and-breakfast run by her mother. Syd’s also taken aback by her still deep feelings for Gus, now a widower with a six-year-old son. But as she adjusts to the past, Syd struggles to reconnect with her emotionally distant mother. Only one other person in Bloomfield shares Helen’s secret: Ed Jenkins (Don Harvey, She Hate Me), head pastor of the local church. Sworn to confessional privacy, he urges Syd to make amends and discover for herself why the Ludwick family ties have been wounded. As a weekend of personal and professional revelations unfold, and as unexpected romance blossoms, Syd discovers more about herself, her past, and the possibilities of the heart than she ever imagined. A tender, emotionally rich story of personal growth, family and forgiveness, betrayal and renewal, Back To You and Me will resonate with anyone who ever wanted a second chance to find love and acceptance.

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, the big screen's original "odd couple," star in this riotously funny high-seas adventure. In search of lonely ladies with big bank accounts, happy-go-lucky Charlie (Matthau) cons his cranky, widower brother-in-law Herb (Lemmon) into joining him on an all-expenses-paid, luxury cruise. But their "deluxe accommodations" are deep in the bowels of the ship, and Charlie has signed them on as dance hosts! Under the tyranny of crooning cruise director Gil Godwyn (Brent Spiner), Charlie and Herb are in for rough weather as they romance the luscious Liz (Dyan Cannon) and the lovely Vivian (Gloria De Haven).
