Slow start builds nicely to this film, wholly responsible for the Lifetime network and every "very special episode" in 80's sit-com history. Academy Awards for Director (Redford), Supporting Actor (Hutton), Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture, with two additional nods for Supporting Actor (Judd Hirsch) and Supporting Actress (Mary Tyler Moore) and an overlooked Donald Sutherland make this well worth your time. The scenes with Hutton and Hirsch were obviously an inspiration to Damon and Affleck when writing Good Will Hunting.
