Places In The Heart is our Good Friday Movie tonight. Join us for a simple supper at 6, and the movie will start by 7. This is the last of our Lenten movie series. After her husband is killed, Sally Field is forced to take over the debt-ridden Texas family farm herself. Though slightly embittered by the fact that a black man was responsible for her husbands death, Field accepts the help of another African-American, Danny Glover. She is also given aid and comfort by her blind boarder, John Malkovich. Despite almost insurmountable odds, Field manages to bring in the cotton crop and to hold her farm and family together. Throughout the film, director Robert Benton stresses the importance of solidarity in facing down disaster, underlining this point with a remarkable surrealistic finale, in which the live members of the cast are seen singing a hymn with the characters who have died in the course of the film.
