Where to Watch

Michael Douglas portrays a disenchanted California professor experiencing a new life style in Missouri. Lee Purcell, Joe Don Baker. Mrs. Hopper: Louise Latham. Hopper: Charles Aidman. Inez: Grayson Hall. Cleo: Marge Redmond. Van: Dana Elcar. Joyce: Meg Foster. Mavis: Carolyn Conwell. Mrs. Gaines: Anne Gwynne. Roger: Richard Derr. Directed by Robert Scheerer.

A miscast Michael Douglas plays a semantics professor who flees the the city when a relative dies in rural Missouri. Seeking a simpler life, he moves to the sticks, but soon finds life can be just as complicated in the country as in the city. A weak script is partially redeemed by some nice location shooting. Only rugged Joe Don Baker, foreman of a work crew, is convincing. This was the first film from Steve McQueen's Solar Productions in which McQueen did not star.
