Cold Sassy Tree

From the Olive Ann Burns novel, in 1906 middle Georgia, young Will (Neil Patrick Harris) doesn't quite grasp the arrangement between Love Simpson (Faye Dunaway), and his recently-widowed local merchant grandfather, her employer and now husband, in the TV movie Cold Sassy Tree, 1989.

Young Neil Patrick Harris narrates, Joan Tewkesbury directing the script she adapted from the Olive Ann Burns novel, introducing Richard Widmark, Faye Dunaway, Frances Fisher and others, in the well-received TV movie Cold Sassy Tree, 1989.
