Own the rights?
Wonderful melodrama, based on a true story. Actor James Caan makes his directorial debut with "Hide in Plain Sight," and he does a great job with the material. Unlike most actors that become directors, Caan's direction is full of interesting visual compositions - he indeed knows where to put the camera. His performance is also above average, creating a vivid picture of a man betrayed by the system he had supported all his life. If you found something like "Kramer vs Kramer," too mushy and/or calculated, this vivid true story of a father trying to assert his rights as a parent, is definitely for you. Excellent movie all the way to its poignant conclusion and a true hidden treasure from the 1980s.
