Here is a double feature based on work by acclaimed American authors. The recommendation is first from 1988, "Mr. North" followed by, from 1982, "Cannery Row." The pair are for those who aren't snobbish about movies made from novels.
"Mr. North" is based on Thornton Wilder's 1973 book "Theophilus North." It is set in aristocratic Newport, Rhode Island, in the 1920's. It stars Anthony Edwards with Robert Mitchum, Lauren Bacall, Harry Dean Stanton, Anjelica Huston, Mary Stuart Masterson and Virginia Madsen.
"Cannery Row" is based on John Steinbeck's 1945 book of the same name and is set near a sardine fishery in Monterey, California during the Great Depression. It stars Nick Nolte and Debra Winger and is narrated by John Huston.
Both movies rise up to their excellent pedigrees.
