I'm watching "Harry and Tonto". How did I miss this gem of a film?

3. It is a nice movie.

I like the movie except for the really sad part.

I won't say what it is, but I needed a tissue.

4. The entire movie is sad, but in a good way.

Thanks for the warning...getting a box of tissues in advance.

5. Don't know how you've missed it.

Its a GREAT one, think Art Carney won an award. Its been around for quite a while.

6. The best thing about missing a great movie or song

is that it presents itself in a new way no matter how many years go by. And by the way...I have always loved your posts here on DU.

7. Yes, and this one presents itself in wonderful new ways.

Thanks, amerikat.

8. Watch for Sally Marr at the end.

When Harry is sitting by the beach the 'cat lady' that he talks to is played by Sally Marr. She was the mother of Lenny Bruce.

A show-biz personality and character she was portrayed on Broadway by Joan Rivers in a play based on her life.
