Be sure to check out my behind the scenes pictures of the making of Breaking Home Ties in Dallas,Ferris and Waxahachie Texas. I worked on the film as Jason Robards driver and also as an extra at Bubbas on Hillcrest near SMU (Southern Methodist University. Dallas Texas in 1987.If you go to the Flickr web site and do a search on Breaking Home Ties it will direct you to the pictures page.I really enjoyed this film not because I was a part of it but it truly is a good story with some excellent acting and great locations and photography.I really like the period piece setting with cars,the train,wardrobe,etc. It gives a true meaning of human relationship. Its a must see film and not yet available on DVD,however some VHS copies are still available and it may still show on TV from time to time.If your looking for good down home drama be sure to check out this gem.
