This week, we discuss two films starring American stunt man and actor Richard Farnsworth.
The first is The Straight Story (1999), a David Lynch film based on the true story of an elderly man named Alvin Straight, who drove a lawnmower 240 miles to visit his ailing brother. The film earned Farnsworth an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
The second is The Natural (1984), a Barry Levinson film starring Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs, a talented baseball player who has endured a hard life to finally appear as a Major League rookie at the age of 35.
