Love, comedy and drama are combined in this tale of desert survival in the Old West from legendary director Sam Peckinpah. A rich young widow of questionable reputation falls in love with a hardened desert rat who has mastered the art of living against incredible odds. Starring Academy Award-winner Jason Robards ("Philadelphia," "All the President's Men") and Stella Stevens ("Flamingo Road," "The Poseidon Adventure").

Academy Award winners Melvyn Douglas ("Being There," "The Candidate") and Lila Kedrova ("Zorba the Greek," "The Tenant") make screen magic as a long-married couple who go on a cross-country journey when it is discovered that the wife is dying. Together they try to reconnect with their estranged daughter before it is too late. Also starring Peter Coyote ("Femme Fatale," "A Walk to Remember") and Brooke Adams (the "Lace" miniseries, "The Dead Zone").

After 40 years of a less-than-satisfying marriage, elderly couple Eva and David rediscover their love for each other when they find out Eva is dying and travel to San Francisco to visit their grandchildren. Based on a novel by Tillie Olsen.
