 Focus on Dennis Haysbert in Love Field February 23, 2009

With everyone seeming to review only Pfeiffer's performance . . . did no one understand Dennis Haybert's role? I read in the gossip columns of the day that there was no love lost between the two off screen, but Haysbert did a marvellous job if this is fact. The simple act of his embrace after release from prison: a smothered chuckle at voicing her dislike of the word divorcee, accompanied by the subtle inhalation of her hair/perfume made me tear. Why don't people notice these small but human interpretations?
Dennis Haysbert has indeed trudged a long way to stardom, whilst Michelle, although an excellent actress, has had only to slightly lower her lashes for a wonderful photograph!
I am not African-American, nor even American by birth. No invert or overt racism here! I simply believe Dennis Haysbert's performance was totally overlooked in this film.
Surprisingly good January 21, 2009

I'd never heard of this film but pulled it off the library shelf, not expecting much. I liked it from the beginning, due to the wonderful performance of Michelle Pfeiffer, as Lurene, a ditzy Texas blond in the 60's. She worships the Kennedys, has a scrapbook of their photos, and makes clothes after the patterns that Jackie wears. She'd seem silly except that she has a heart of gold and is very likeable.
She is, of course, crushed when JFK is killed while visiting Dallas, her home, and decides to override the objections of her redneck husband and takes the Greyhound to DC to attend the funeral. On the bus she encounters a quiet Black man, beautifully played by Dennis Haysbert, who's travelling with a small girl who doesn't speak. Lurene isn't shy and she intrudes herself into the lives of these two, in spite of the efforts of the Black man to keep her out.
What follows is a surprising series of events that keep the three entertwined, in spite of racial prejudice, the FBI and Lurene's husband.
It's a relatively simple film but the story is good and all of the performances are excellent. Maybe it wasn't arty enough to impress folks at the time, but I found it to be a charming, heartfelt film, certainly worth watching.

Well, since I ordered and paid for this but never got it, I can't review it, but Michelle is always great, so I assume it is good.
Good movie... June 9, 2007

A sad, funny,touching story about a ditzy blonde with a heart, a black man trying to pull his life together & an adorable child needing love.
 I love Dennis Haysbert April 3, 2007
