Genre: Drama
Director: Glenn Jordan
Cast: Glenn Close, Christopher Walken, Jack Palance, Lexi Randall, Christopher Bell, George Hearn, Emily Osment, Betty Laird, Calen Pick
Ho-hum. The third (and last) of the made-for-TV series is boring for all except those who have come to love the Walton-like family. It's a tough winter in Kansas and the flue season hits hard. In rides good old Jack Palance, as always, a film highlight.

| | very family oriented | Anonymous 02/01/2007 | | If you are tired of porn, nuclear explosions from a car gas tank and ready for a real classic then check this one out. Your kids can even watch it with you. I dont generally like movies set back in the times of depression era but this one is much different. |
