This was a made for TV movie produced by WCVB-TV, Boston, MA. The movie was the end result of a viewer's script that won a script contest conducted by WCVB. It was shot on Cape Cod.
They got Henry Fonda because he had just finished shooting: "On Golden Pond" in New Hampshire. He literally was already in the area.
Ironically, this wound up being his last film (and Myrna Loy's too).
Some dismiss it as a "TV Movie". I don't! I believe that it is as good as any theatrical release. You must remember that since WCVB produced it, it was going to air on their station first.
