A Family Upside Down (1978 TV Movie)
10/10
Ten stars for squeezing what matters into a TV movie
13 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
No time for victimhood wallowing here, a problem is raised, dealt with and we move on.

It's all about putting things right the best way you can before you die and choosing to spend your final days exactly how you would like to.

The generational problems are here but no one is unreachable. Or inarticulate.

We don't need to know how this story ends because we are shown all the outcomes, via worries voiced, compromises made and most imporatantly of all , deciding what is your priority and sacrificing for it at all costs.

It is our life after all,and we should be allowed to say how we would choose to end it.

Not sure if any actress of this age, other than Hayes, would have made me take this movie seriously. And Astaire CAN act.
