The TVI Take
1984 Best Picture nominee. A Depression-era Texas widow fights to save her farm with help from a Black farmhand and a blind boarder.
Moderate cognitive demands. Educational value from the Depression-era rural setting and racial dynamics. Sally Field won her second Best Actress Oscar. The transcendent final scene is one of cinema's great endings.
