Review of The Changing of the Guard

I never realized the true awesomeness of Pleasance until today when I caught this on MeTv. The writing was above the bar as well. Mr. Pleasance really taught an acting course in this one. A lesser actor could have made this into schmaltzy drivel. Instead it was thought provoking, cathartic theater at it's best. As a man approaching old age, it made me think about the kind of influence, if any, that one might have on young people in one's life.
