Sugary nostalgia piece, from an autobiographical Capote novel, set in the pre-WWII South. Sissy Spacek, incapable of dishonesty, is pinched and starchy in the unusual role (for her) of a small-town pillar, and Edward Furlong is his usual mope, but the rest of the cast -- Piper Laurie, Nell Carter, …
For those still in need of a miracle ev-er-y day, there is this!

The story is simple: an astronaut (a smooth-faced Sandra Bullock), cut loose from her spiritual moorings by a freak accident, is cut loose from her physical moorings by another …
A huge freighter, manned by uneducated Norwegians who speak only in subtitles and know nothing of the maritime traffic laws, plows into a U.S. submarine and sends it plummeting to the edge of an underwater cliff, where it teeters in such a precarious position that the survivors, inside, are photographed …
