Ellen Burstyn d/ Martin Scorcese
From 1974 this was a significant film at the time: a single mother, recently widowed, sets out across country with her 10 yo son to start a new life. She meets the usual gang of creeps and weirdos before coming upon her dream prince (Kris Kristofferson) with whom she settle down and lived happily ever after.
Film still works because of EB's performance and the pervasive sense of grit in the way the story is told. Genuine populist entertainment...a film which closely reflects life the way it actually works.
