The Whole Wide World 1996 PG, 105 min. Genre: Drama / Romance
Director: Dan Ireland Cast: Vincent D'Onofrio, Renee Zellweger, Ann Wedgeworth, Benjamin Mouton, Chris Shearer, Harve Presnell, Michael Corbett, Helen Cates, Marion Eaton, Leslie Berger, Libby Villari, Dell Aldrich, Elzabeth D'Onofrio, Antonia Bogdanovich, Sandy Walper
This film–based on retired schoolteacher Novalyne Price Ellis' memoirs, "One Who Walked Alone"–tells the story of her youthful 1930s' romance with pulp writer Robert E. Howard. Seen through Novalyne's (Renee Zellweger) eyes, this is a sympathetic story of Howard (Vincent D'Onofrio) who comes equipped with too much emotional baggage to carry on a love affair. What Novalyne and Robert DO have is a common love of writing, but that alone cannot keep them together.
