Tomorrow

Tomorrow (1972) starring Robert Duvall, Olga Bellin. Simple Mississippi handyman (Duvall) meets an abandoned pregnant woman (Bellin), takes her in and falls in love with her. After her baby is born, he vows to her that he will raise it as his own. Based on a Faulkner story, this is a movie that tells a quiet tale, building slowly to a highly impactful finale. Even though it has no subtitles or closed captions, I was able to follow it closely and found it sadly moving. Spoiler alert: There is no happy ending. Grade: B+
