Trivia
The fictional county of Holt, where the film and Kent Haruf's novel are set, is in Eastern Colorado. Holt is a composite of the three Colorado towns where the author grew up: Wray, Holyoke and Yuma. All of Haruf's novels take place in the fictional town of Holt.

Goofs
The title, if read out loud quickly, is a crude misinterpretation, out-of-keeping with the mood of the movie.

Quotes
Addie Moore: I've spent my whole life worrying about what people think.

A Very Sweet Little Movie, Which I Enjoyed

I very much enjoyed this unusual movie depicting the lives of two people in their older, and in this case, more lonesome years.

Both Fonda and Redford gave nuanced performances which were very relatable, especially if you are over the age of 60. I doubt that very young adults would find much to enjoy about this picture, and that is a shame because in fact it displays well the one thing which people cannot lose if they are to continue enjoying their lives into their last decades, and that is hope.

So often younger people do not appreciate the wisdom and humanity which both come with age. Nor do they realize that if they are lucky, they, too, will be old one day.

If you want a sweet look into lives of the older but certainly not dead yet, this would be a good place to do so.
