Dean (Peter Dobson) is a key witness in an important case; he is also an ex-mobster who the crime boss wants wiped out.

The Old Man and the Sea 1990 TV, 95 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Jud Taylor
Cast: Anthony Quinn, Gary Cole, Valentina Quinn, Francesco Quinn, Patricia Clarkson, Alexis Cruz, Joe Santos, Sully Diaz, Paul Calderon, Jaime Tirelli
Anthony Quinn is excellent as the "Old Man" in this TV remake of Ernest Hemingway's tale of the battle fought in catching and bringing back the big fish. The story is weakened by the addition of two side stories that reduce the impact of the central theme.
