Excellent Play and Movie. I saw and enjoyed both. I liked this movie as well as the play because the story brought back memories of growing up in the south. The memories of growing up in big houses with mothers and fathers as well as grandparents are cherished. As an adult, the longing to go back to where one grew up and to relive those wonderful moments is portrayed so well by Ms. Cicely Tyson. When Blair Underwood said to Ms. Tyson, "I should have brought you back here sooner" when he found out that her friend had died, reminded me of how precious our older parents, and grandparent's are in our lives.

Performances by the actors and actresses are phenomenal.! This will go down as a classic. I could watch it over and over with a box of tissues nearby.
