This third installment of the Sarah, Plain and Tall series exceeds television standards of today while not being some boring, laugh track filled, 1950's television show.
The values of a family and unconditional love in spite of difficulties in relationships is priceless. Glenn Close and Christopher Walken again do a great job of playing a couple committed to each other and to their children (amazing in these days of every family member for themselves)!
As an added treat, Jack Palance turns in a fine performance. This is a man that Bette Davis insisted play in his first starring role as a bad guy. It's fitting that he plays a guy who was a bad father, but figures that he should make that right before his time on earth is done.
Two former 'bad guy' actors, show that maybe Hollywood should stop type casting actors and allow them to explore other sides. Walken and Palance turn in heart-warming performances, even as they initially clash with each other due to their lack of relationship.
If you want to see a great story that the whole family can enjoy, check this one out. If you want a typical scary Walken picture, this one's not for you.
