Movie
Harry and Son
Synopsis
Harry (Paul Newman), a middle-aged hardhat, has trouble communicating with his teenaged son Howard (Robby Benson). While Harry wants Howard to find a bread-and-butter job, the sensitive boy would rather pursue a writing career. Howard tries his best to please his dad, but ultimately realizes that he must march to his own beat if he's to find lasting happiness. The best scenes in this by-the-numbers domestic drama are those between Howard and his pregnant girlfriend (Ellen Barkin). Adapted from The Lost King, a novel by Don Capite, Harry and Son represents one of the rare occasions that star Paul Newman directed himself (at least officially!), Paul Newman directed and stars as a blue-collar widower at odds with his son (Robby Benson). Katie: Ellen Barkin. Tom: Wilford Brimley. Sally: Judith Ivey. Raymond: Ossie Davis. Siemanowski: Morgan Freeman. Newman also co-scripted.
