MR. & MRS. BRIDGE (3.5 STARS)

This is a Paul Newman/Joanne Woodward movie. I only know of the one other "The Long Hot Summer" or something like that. This is 1990 so they're getting old. Directed by James Ivory who's done a lot of movies no one cares about. The only recognizable picture is "Remains the day".
This is a calm, modest, view of a respectable man and his wife. They have a couple kids who are somewhat different. It's a story about different generations. It's a little about the changing of times. And among many other things it's about what you should hold valuable in life. You get the impression that teller of this story doesn't Necessarily believe in Mr Bridges moral code but is simply telling Mr. Bridges story for what it's worth.
I liked it. A lot.
