Product Description

In Morning Glory, Will Parker (Christopher Reeve) arrives in the small town of Whitney, after spending five years in Huntsville Prison for killing someone in La Grange, Texas. Through an ad in the local paper, Will discovers that Emily (Deborah Raffin), a recently widowed mother of two small boys, is actively looking for a husband and father. Star-crossed loners, Will and Emily decide to make a go of their collective plight and Will moves into the barn on her farm. When a local woman is found murdered, Will is set up to take the fall. Excellent performances by Reeve and Raffin, and standout supporting roles filled by Nina Foch and Lloyd Bochner take this tale of love and redemption up a notch.

Loved the Book - Loved the Movie More - Reviewed on 2008-11-21

I wasn't much of a Superman fan, but I loved Christopher Reeve in this role. Shy and backward ex-felon falls in love with rural farm woman who has her hands full during the great Depression. The town thinks she's a tad off mentally, the sheriff is just waiting to haul the new farm hand back to jail and then enters the town slut into all theirs lives.
I loved the book, but even better seeing the characters of the book on the screen. Some nudity and sex. One of my favorite "girl" flicks.
Would not watch this movie again. - Reviewed on 2008-11-17

This movie contained an uncomfortable sex scene, which would have been nice to know in the rating.

A little known good movie to add to any collection. One that can be watch a few times a year and never get old. You feel for each character and their individual emotions and it sends you on a roller coaster of sadness, hardship, gossip, and true love that grows throughout the movie.

The movie was good. However, it was based on one of my favorite books of all time, Morning Glory by Lavyrle Spencer and the plot was changed very considerably! I can't judge the movie on its own merits due to that fact.

I enjoyed the movie though it was a typical ex-con gets framed story. The acting is well done and it was nice to see Christopher Reeve walking and healthy. Takes place when times were hard and people did what they could to survive. Ends well.
