Ann Sharp: What exactly do you do?
George Adams: Exactly? Well, I'm a steam fitter, and a swamper, and a pumper, and a air-monkey, and a car toad, and a cinder cruncher, and a diamond cracker.¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Oh, I'm a wiper and a mechanic. And then, just to keep myself busy, I'm the night watchman for the town here.

A pleasant little film, perhaps most noteworthy for its normalcy.

A pleasant little film, perhaps most noteworthy for its normalcy, it reunites costars James Garner and Joan Hackett from 1969's SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF, this time as a middle-aged couple living in a small town in Oklahoma in the 1950's. Director Stuart Margolin easily coaxes an excellent performance from his ROCKFORD FILES co-star. Hackett (who sadly would pass away the following year) shines as well, as a still-pretty but obviously aging housewife. This film has no intricate plot, no real drama, nor a stunning twist to wrap it up. It really is just the average life of lower-class folks in middle America, made all the more real by being filmed not in Hollywood, but in three small towns in Texas. Garner encapsulates the thoughts and dreams of a man who realizes that his best days are behind him, and his dreams were just that - dreams. In the days before the Internet and smart phones, the viewer gets to see the daily humdrum life that was small-town America. Boring, tedious, uneventful... yet beautiful, and worth hanging on to. This is not a film that will sear itself into your memory, but you'll be glad you saw it - especially if you're old enough to remember what that life was like.
