Frank Perry is the Director and Truman Capote did the story.
It’s a very simple film but still a film they should show every Thanksgiving. Some of the actors are Geraldine Page, Truman Capote, Neil Fitzgerald and Michael Kearney.

To record the movie inside the house they had to make a hole in the floor so the camera could come from downstairs and see the living room. Children should not see this movie alone parents should be presents. But it’s a good movie about Alabama almost 50 years ago.

Charles Matthau won the Family Film Award for this movie in 1996 for best director. The movie is however based on a novel written by Truman Capote. The movie was filmed in Wetumpka, Alabama, USA. The cast of the movie is not good but far from bad. We have actors like Piper Laurie, Sissy Spacek, Walter Matthau, Edward Furlong and Nell Carter. The rest of the cast also okay but nothing to brag about, Piper Laurie also won an award for Best Supporting Actress by SEFCA Awards in 1997. She really deserved this reward, her performance in the movie is really good.

The story is about Collin Fenwick, after his mother dies he goes to live with his father cousins. His father cousins are wealthy and rich people. There they live in a tree house and refuses to come down. The story is rather complicated but if you understand it the movie offers you great entertainment.

The movie is overall good but it is filmed in black and white. This makes it boring for my taste but it also gives the movie a somewhat retro and old fashion look which some people might find enjoyable.
