Review (5/5): Three Wonderful Spacek Films: All Presented In Widescreen
SISSY SPACEK is a gifted actor. Though she has never been able to completey loose the Texas from her voice, she has completely inhabited her roles and become a myriad variety of women. She is always emotionally true, and never fails to bring heart and reality to her characterizations.
RAGGEDY MAN followed right on the heels of her triumph in COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER. Beautifully rendered by cast and crew, the film was a sleeper, and did not receive the audiences that it deserved. Directed by husband Jack Fisk, SPACEK and Eric Roberts win hearts as Nita and Teddy: two lonely people caught in circumstance by World War Two.
