Way Back Home [VHS]
Bette Davis makes her third screen appearance as a star-crossed girl who Seth Parker (Phillips H. Lord) helps unite with her beloved, despite forces of evil bent on keeping them apart. The honest virtues and rustic sentiment of Maine's Down East farmers are authentically and effectively captured in this homespun tale based on the old Seth Parker radio show. Fans of "A Prairie Home Companion" will appreciate the amusing countrified atmosphere of the story, complete with barn dances, taffypulling, singing bees, and the mellow rhythem of Yankee village life. The New York Times praised it as a "gentle adn frequently moving entertainment"" Guaranteed to make you feel good inside.
