In World War I-era Knoxville, Tennessee, tragedy would strike a family twice when Jay Follet (Robert Preston) perished in a car accident as he raced to the side of his declining father. The struggles of his pregnant wife Mary (Jean Simmons) to help their 6-year-old son Rufus (Michael Kearney) fuel this powerful drama taken from Tad Mosel's stage adaptation of James Agee's "A Death in the Family." Pat Hingle, Aline MacMahon, John Cullum, Ronnie Claire Edwards co-star. 97 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
