This is one of those movies that when it is over, one wishes it had not ended. It involves Harry, played by Art Carney (of course, Ed Norton on The Honeymooners), who has had to take his cat and leave his apartment building, which is being torn down to make way for a parking garage. He leave all the old men he usually hangs out with and heads west. He visits a son who sends him packing, a daughter, and has a host of experiences, including meeting a hitchhiking hooker and being in thrown in jail with an elderly Indian man (Chief Dan George from "Little Big Man."). As he travels the road, literally and figuratively, he comes to realize that those around him have their troubles and that he is a pretty happy man, despite being uprooted. This is touching, poignant, and loving. Art Carney won the Oscar for best actor.
