David Mamet directs his own adaptation of John O'Hara's story set in small-town America in the 1950s. At a testimonial dinner for a doctor, the true nature of his life and work, personal sacrifices and quiet successes are movingly revealed. This is a portrait of a particular time that has social resonances for today, reinforcing the values that people know to be true and that are in danger of being lost under pressure from an increasingly complex world. With a solo performance by Ed O'Neill as Albert Shoemaker.
