I love, love this movie. I came across it and even though I am deaf, it really touched me and made me cry my eyes out! With so much drech and not much care to quality movies out of Hollywood these days, this movie is a little gem.
What a gem....I am 69 year old, Mr. Robert Duval has always been my favorite actor and still is today....fine actor in all realms! Mr. William Faulkner is , and was and exemplary writer...love his work! This was made in a time when simplicity reigned! In today's world of excess and loss of morals and ethics....where anything goes, Has loss something that can't touch the heart and soul like the hard scrabble times where less was more! Takes families three jobs today to pay for what they don't need! I still live as simply as I can and love life more for it...it was hard those days but harder today because of the excess and fast pace of society! People of today have no clue how to live a simple and happy life through hardship and atrocities...makes you a stronger person in heart and soul! Thank you for the movie! Hope you find more like this! 👍✌✌✌😊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 And yes, there are still men like that today.....but as rare as this movie!😏
Very well said! Robert is one of the great actors, follow his body of work from the Godfather, Apocalypse now, tomorrow, FT, Jack, reacher, etc. etc. etc. many different characters, all convincing professionally acted. My uncle and I were talking just last weekend there are no big stars today.. too many special effects crappy stories Hollywood has turned to nothing but a shell of what it once was. That’s why we watch the classics. People no longer appreciate quality in simplicity stories that require paying attention and thinking.
First time I’ve seen this film, and if you land here I suggest you stay and watch, for it’ll be well worth your while even as it breaks your heart. Robert Duvall is up there in the pantheon of great American actors. What I like about him most - aside from his obvious talent - is his sincerity, and dedication to his craft. That said, for me Olga Bellin steals the show here - her performance is brilliant, and should have been more widely recognized.
I watch a lot of old 40’s, 50’s and 60’s films when the acting and storylines were of primary importance and a lot of them were filmed in monochrome, think Look back in anger. Despite being filmed twenty plus years later this film fits in with those films better than it does it’s own time. Joseph Andrews makes a fine film from difficult subject matter. Robert Duvall is on fine form, as is Olga Bellin which is not a name I knew, and where did that voice come from as much lower than his usual speaking voice in 1972.
Thanks a Million for this Upload. I owned a Betamax copy of this movie >30 years ago. What agony did Jackson Fentry endure torn from that boy?! I could only imagine.
Betamax, what a blast from the past. I remember when B... and VHS were in a battle for format dominance. Betamax had better specs but the VHS won. I can't remember what vhs stood for.
Great movie !!! Great acting all around, but Duvall stands out as usual. I am a big fan of his and this is one of his finest performances, ever !!! Reminds me of a Christmas movie, with the birth of the baby and where the baby is born.
Yes, Robert Duvall is good, but Olga Bellin (Sarah Eubanks), who has 80% of the dialogue in the film, gives one of the best, most natural, acting performances I've ever seen.
Now I know who they modeled Karl after in Sling Blade! LOL. Also the midwife "Mrs. Hulie" looks, speaks, and acts like she could be Woody Harrelson's twin sister. But what a treasure of a find this movie was. I love older movies. I was 14 when this movie came out in 1972. Also them filming it in B&W was the right way to do it.
Exactly what I thought…Billy Bob Thornton was absolutely brilliant in Sling Blade..I love that movie…This is the first time I have seen Tomorrow…Duvall is great in every movie he has made…He was perfect for Boo in To Kill a Mockingbird…such great acting both men and wonderful movies. Hollywood has not been all bad…
I was born and raised on a small dairy farm in the industrial North West of England, there was a saying that hard work never did anyone any harm, it just made them a funny shape. Visiting many of those farms in my late teens where hard unrelenting human labour was the order of the day was etched into my soul, never to be forgotten.
A wonderful movie. I had many tears throughout. Robert Duval's performance was magnificent, a long with her performance throughout the birth scene. An academy performance.
Never ever. Years ago this movie stayed with me so long that I had to buy it. Over 20 years ago this was not easy to do but this was a standout! He really is a great actor & it was such a realistic movie. Thank you so much for letting other people enjoy this seldom seen gem.
Robert Duvall Considered this his best work, and his personal favorite, among his vast accomplishments in film. That, in its own right, makes this fine film extra special, because it was to him.
Duval is amazing, as is Faulkner. This story was so deeply moving and beautifully performed. The location in the woods of Mississippi reminded me so much like the woods of Tennessee. ❤ Thank you so much for showing this fine film.
I was thinking how much it reminded me of my great grandparents in the Tennessee mountains. A very good movie, very accurate portrayal of the people of that time.
I'm in Tennessee..and my Preacher's name is Greg Whitehead..at the top of Ripshin Mt. The verbiage of this film is so...in these hills.. a newcomer from the north, retired ten years ago..and have fallen in that deep love for the hills and the people. God bless..
My 2nd watching of this and liked it as much now as then, made me think of my mother a poor woman born in 1931 with 3 husband ?? not all legal and 8 children by 32 yrs of age then dead by cancer 2 wks after turning 45, The husbands were by chance and proximity no other choices than love so she did the best she could. I miss her today.
So am I right that your mum had a child every two years or so until she was 32 ( starting at 16 years of age ) it must have drained her. Was that how is was for people in that area ? ( I'm from Scotland ). Did any husband just disappear and left her with children ? It's great that you realise she did the best she could. God bless
This is a beautiful production. Duvall does a stupendous acting part as does the rest of the cast. Its a simply beautiful story...simple but wholehearted.
My dad's family was from Kentucky. I live in Lakewood, Colorado born in Trinidad, Colorado. The south has always been a part of my soul. The way R.D. talks in this movie should be remembered forever. The American language in this movie touches my spirit.
Hello from Vermont. I moved back here after spending 40 yrs in the great State of Co. Miss it too. I knew Stanley Biber MD in Trinidad. He did gender change surgeries..one of the first docs to do it in the States. I also knew the Cecelia Cohen family in Denver. One of her sons is was a rabbi in Lakewood. Its a small world! Vermont is similar to Kentucky.
My daddy made my oldest sister's cradle. From US Navy wood. She'll be 80 on Tuesday. Born on Labor Day, 1944. I got her some cute, bright metal butterflies to brighten her fence.
This is one of the best movies ever made, it's a very touching story, and one of Robert Duvalls best, he and Olga Belinii do such an outstanding job, true love like he had for her & the baby, only comes along once in a lifetime. Sad ending tho, I wonder if there are really any men in the world like the one Robert protrayed.? Thank you for posting this remarkable movie, I so enjoyed it. I had seen it a long time ago, and just found it here. Gets even better with time.
There is a continuity error , which you can find , even in many big budget movies . This is when you stop shooting a scene , for whatever reason , and then resume shooting at a later time or day. If two people are sitting at a table having a conversation , you want everything in the scene to be the same as it was when you stopped shooting . If there is a clock on the wall , you want it to show the same time as when you stopped shooting . You don't want the clock to jump ahead several hours from one shot to the other. You want everything in the room to still be there , in the same position as before . Everyone should be wearing the same clothes , etc. , etc. As Fentry is helping Sarah get to the shed , they stop and restart shooting the scene , as they are walking beside the wood pile . At the end of the first shot , you will see that Fentry is holding Sarah under his right arm . When the shot changes , you will , I hope , see that Fentry is now holding Sarah under his left arm . This happens in the blink of an eye . A small error , I suppose , but an error , just the same . Hope you see it now . The more you watch a movie , the more likely you are to notice little things like that.
I didn't notice what it was. That is why I kidded around about the huge gap under the door when it was blowing up a storm outside. A real cabin like that would have a whole blanket or three on the floor in front of the door. Just saying...no big deal. Lovely film, captured it off the old long-gone and lamented Bravo Film and Arts Network in the good o'l days when sometimes I could find quality films on TV
Victoria Taylor, there are more men in the world like Jackson Fentry than, sadly, women would like to admit. For too many women, their first response to men is to kick them between the legs, feel justified in doing so, and then, laugh. Those type of women will never find a man like Jackson Fentry, or me, and if they do, the man won't have anything to do with them. The type of man Duvall portrays in this movie is looking for someone like Sarah Eubanks.
I had English teachers who had us read Faulkner, no doubt to instill appreciation in us. But for me it went in one ear and out the other. I've just watched two movies based on Faulkner's writing, and I'm very clear how I feel now, 50 years later. I am moved by his capacity to use simplicity to portray the human condition. So brilliant.
This movie makes me proud to be a human being. What can I write about R.D.? He reminds my of my relatives on my dad's side. His character voice is really amazing and real.
Hi Awesome black and white cinematography! Each scene conveyed the essence of the story as the rough untamed land wrought the characters of the folk toiling on it! Bible believing families!
It takes genuine love and selflessness to love someone else’s child. I find no fault in Fentry’s character. He was a man of integrity. He kept his word to the child’s mother. How much richer Fentry’s lonely life became when he had someone to love. It wasn’t in Fentry’s heart to take the baby to an orphanage, ever. Over the few months, he grew to love the mother. The baby was a part of her. Think of what a fine boy Jackson would have become if he could have been raised and nurtured in Fentry’s environment instead of the Thorpe’s. Being biologically related doesn’t compare to the bond of love. I’ve seen it for myself. And a slow Southern drawl has nothing to do with intelligence and wit.
Mr. Duvall's character, Jackson Fentry, must have been very close to the inspiration for Billy Bob Thornton's character, Karl Childers, in the film "Slingblade". The similarities are stunning. Exceptionally fine work from both actors.
roscoefoofoo And that you have kind, decent, hardworking people in this part of the country that might not be that smart on a technical level, but willing to take on an abandoned pregnant woman to take care of, then take care of her baby to raise not expecting any kind of reward, but just doing what you have to do. Jackson Fentry had more heart and character than most people in a still medieval era of the south than most people do in America today.
❤ let's see the connection myself but that's just because we didn't grow up around this type of speaking this is the way everybody spoke in five or six states
Great little film in my opinion. A very of-it's time/period treatment if the prose. Thanks so much for posting it! Nice little adaptation. Not great, but then again, I never heard about it..This would have been the height of Duvall's career..with "The Conversation" and "THX1138" in his dossier...
Am doing a 1972 Duvall Double - this and "Gt Northfield Minnesota Raid". "Tender Mercies" prob. my favourite of his, such a fine performance, liked his part in "The Rd". too which I caught recently.
for real I loved how Mississippi is actually cold the entire movie. That old wet cold in the south when it gets in the 30’s. And this is the only movie made and set in Mississippi I’ve seen that’s not about racism for a change!
William Faulkner wrote the short story "Tomorrow" is based on. Horton Foote adapted the story and wrote the screenplay. Horton Foote won two Academy Awards and was nominated for a third: Won Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium * To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) * Tender Mercies (1983)
"And it seemed to me, as I'd never known before, that this world isn't run like it ought to be run. ... ...I could never have guessed Fentry's capacity for love. ..."I suppose I'd figured that coming from where he came from that even the comprehension of love had been lost out of him, back down the generations where the first Fentry had to take his final choice between the pursuit of love, and the pursuit of keeping on breathing. The lowly and the invincible of the earth. To endure and endure and endure. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow."
WOW. After it was over I went to youtube home. and then some short videos. You know the ones, bad cops etc. I had to quick come back here because after "Tomorrow" youtube seemed inane.
I get it, that it's supposed to be high quality dialouge/English, since it is Faulkner... But i am watching with Subtitles, English, Autogenerated, so that does not go through.... Somewhat like watching Shakespeare, English, Autogenerated... But it seems to be a high quality movie from an unusual perspective, so i will watch it.. I was happy to see that Mr Turés virus defenition was successfully updated 😊.
I swear this is where Billy Bob Thornton got the voice he used in Sling Blade. I’ve seen Sling Blade many times, I love his performance in this film and the music and the story, and the voice It’s just about identical. Who else agrees?
Yes, earlier I mentioned that, absolutely Billy Bob stole Duvalls character. You can even see it in his facial expressions. I don't think this film had a huge audience, but I did see it years ago, way before slingblade.
I love, love this movie. I came across it and even though I am deaf, it really touched me and made me cry my eyes out! With so much drech and not much care to quality movies out of Hollywood these days, this movie is a little gem.

To each his own...

A brilliant movie in its simplicity, i just grew to love it after watching it a few times...
This world isn’t run like it ought to be run.
And in less than a decade Mr Duvall would play Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now. What range...
In the year this was produced he also acted in The Godfather.

Robert just made me cry. Such good acting and an awesome story.
Thank-you for making this available for people to watch.
This story really touches the heartstrings profoundly. I do love Robert Duval.
He was the one who played "Boo Riley", in "To kill a mockingbird" too. Another great character played by Robert Duval.
Boo RADLEY
A wonderful movie. I had many tears throughout. Robert Duval's performance was magnificent, a long with her performance throughout the birth scene. An academy performance.
One of the Greatest Actors of his generation!
One of the best classics iv seen yet 👌

Very heart warming movie. Most young people don't appreciate these real-life old movies.
Am I glad I found this. If Robert Duvall never made another movie after this he would still be considered one of the great actors of all time

Victoria Taylor, there are more men in the world like Jackson Fentry than, sadly, women would like to admit.

Your opinion about Faulkners writing is spot on. One should also say same for Footes screenplay here.
Heartbreaking.The genius of Faulkner and Duvall on display.My mother said some people weren’t fit for marriage or child rearing.
Awesome B&W nice movie clean focus too.👍
Such an emotional movie. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Much obliged for this movie.
I can imagine Brando in the leading role, but not as well. Thought provoking. Duval's masterpiece!

As good of an acting performance as is done by Robert Duvall, Olga Bellin does one of the best acting performances I've ever seen.

Actors who take rolls out of their norm tells us the type and range of actors they are. No better one out there!
This movie, and Punch-Drunk Love, are two of my favourite movies of all time.
Am doing a 1972 Duvall Double - this and "Gt Northfield Minnesota Raid".
"Tender Mercies" prob. my favourite of his, such a fine performance, liked his part in "The Rd". too which I caught recently.
How 'bout "The Great Santini?"
TU so much. ONLY one familiar with the MS Delta can REALLY appreciate the reality of this great movie!
for real I loved how Mississippi is actually cold the entire movie. That old wet cold in the south when it gets in the 30’s. And this is the only movie made and set in Mississippi I’ve seen that’s not about racism for a change!
I may say have never ever been impressed so much with a Hollywood product!
I even wrote Hollywood with the capital letter, that I never do!
Marry me Sarah! Omg... this movie is so good!
William Faulkner wrote the short story "Tomorrow" is based on. Horton Foote adapted the story and wrote the screenplay.
Horton Foote won two Academy Awards and was nominated for a third:
Won Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium
* To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
* Tender Mercies (1983)
What a film! God Almighty - What a film!
Always good to see RD!
"And it seemed to me, as I'd never known before, that this world isn't run like it ought to be run. ...
...I could never have guessed Fentry's capacity for love.
..."I suppose I'd figured that coming from where he came from that even the comprehension of love had been lost out of him, back down the generations where the first Fentry had to take his final choice between the pursuit of love, and the pursuit of keeping on breathing.
The lowly and the invincible of the earth.
To endure and endure and endure.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow."
Truths to live by, indeed.....
The rock band Grandaddy's song "Fentry" brought me here.
That and a great admiration of Robert Duvall.
Tracked down this film for same reason. What a gem of a movie. Dually as always. Class act. Beautifully acted by everyone.
Robert Duvall is great as lawyers. Love Fentry!
Outstanding.
Thanks for uploading this
No coincidence that Duvall was also in 'Sling Blade'.
One of the best with Duval
I've known people like Jackson Fentry. Life is so brutally unfair to them and get they do endure.
WOW. After it was over I went to youtube home. and then some short videos. You know the ones, bad cops etc. I had to quick come back here because after "Tomorrow" youtube seemed inane.
Robert Duvall is amazing
I get it, that it's supposed to be high quality dialouge/English, since it is Faulkner... But i am watching with Subtitles, English, Autogenerated, so that does not go through.... Somewhat like watching Shakespeare, English, Autogenerated... But it seems to be a high quality movie from an unusual perspective, so i will watch it..
I was happy to see that Mr Turés virus defenition was successfully updated 😊.
I'm a big fan of Duvall, this character reminds of his boo radley character from his ( quiet) role on to kill a mockingbird 😮😮😮
I swear this is where Billy Bob Thornton got the voice he used in Sling Blade. I’ve seen Sling Blade many times, I love his performance in this film and the music and the story, and the voice It’s just about identical. Who else agrees?
I totally agree with you! First thing I thought of while watching! Can't believe I can upon this by accident! ( Since I'm a fan of the classics)😯
There can be NO doubt
If memory serves, i think Billy Bob also wrote Sling Blade.
Glad to see this Faulkner adaptation.
Yes, earlier I mentioned that, absolutely Billy Bob stole Duvalls character. You can even see it in his facial expressions. I don't think this film had a huge audience, but I did see it years ago, way before slingblade.
@BigSKR "i like the way you talk" best line ever!
I love Faulkner. This is really good.
A masterpiece.
Thank you. I've never seen this one before .
