Synopsis

Before going off to World War II, Frank Arnold (Richard Crenna) relocates his wife, Ann (Claire Bloom), and son, Joshua (Richard Thomas), to New Mexico. Joshua has a difficult time fitting in, finding himself a minority in a predominantly Latino community, and his mother doesn't fare much better, treating her loneliness with increasing quantities of alcohol. At length, Joshua makes some friends and begins to adjust, but bad news from overseas threatens to spoil what he's accomplished.

gjohann For 70s completest and those who have nostalgia for it. Had really looked forward to this one after seeing a bunch of the photo stills and reading all the positive reviews. Finally saw it on IFC recently and found it to be real disappointment, Richard Thomas does an almost laughable job of acting. An OK period piece with some interesting moments and nice cinematography, but certainly not worthy of the raves it often gets from those who are remembering their reaction to it back in 1971 rather than the film itself. There are so many great lost films of the 60s and 70s-and then there are some pretentious clinkers-this falls into the later
hdelao This was a great movie. I saw it when it came out. It reminded me of the time I was growing up in the small town in NM. The way we used to play and the pranks we used to pull on new kids in town. It was a great time for me growing up there until we moved to CA. The movie brings great memories. Especially when the kids in town lead the new kid to the local dump and while running at full speed runs into a dead cow. I can still see the new kid in the dead cow and the smell, it must have been awful. That's the kind of innocent pranks I remember pulling on other kids as we were growing up. If and when it is decided to make a DVD of videotape, I would like to be notified so I can purchase one.
tonyp-8 I teach Sociology and would like my present students and future students, to have the chance to view and appreciate the value of this movie in all its lessons. Our young people today could learn things that would benefit them in so many ways. Things from the past and how they relate to us now. They need to see that things have not changed thru the years when it comes to dealing with our two cultures, in our schools and in our communities of the southwest. So if any one can help me, I would appreciate it very much.
sixteenthb In 1971, I went to the drive-in movie in Ceres, California, with my wife and children. We actually went to see another movie and it was a double feature. I LOVED "Red Sky at Morning". To this day, 31 years later, I still think that it was the best movie I have ever seen. I, too, wish it had been committed to tape. I would love to see it again.
