Synopsis
Robert Duvall's Oscar-winning performance dominates this study of Mac Sledge, a hard-drinking country singer whose latest binge has left him stranded at a remote and run-down Texas motel owned by a young widow whose joys in life are her young son and singing in her church choir. Penniless, Mac offers to work "a couple of days" to pay his bill, a stay that's extended indefinitely when the two fall in love.
