<\/a><\/p>\n\nI wrote about the 1972 film Tomorrow<\/i>, a Horton Foote adaptation of a William Faulkner story, starring Robert Duvall (same year as The Godfather<\/i>) for Film Comment. It’s screening on TCM this month. Years ago, I remember my father talking to me about Duvall’s performance in this, only my dad couldn’t remember the title, and I hadn’t seen it yet and there was no Internet so I couldn’t help him out. But Dad had such a love for this performance. He may not have remembered the title, but he remembered the plot, and boy, did he remember Duvall.

Today is Robert Duvall’s birthday as well, so the whole assignment has had a very pleasing symmetry. <\/p>\n
