Watching Films Based On The Works Of Pat Conroy

Last night I truly enjoyed watching movies based on the work of the late, great author Pat Conroy on TCM.

“Conrack,” starring Jon Voight and “The Great Santini” starring are two truly impressive films.

I did not stay up late to watch another Conroy based film, 1991’s “The Prince of Tides.”

Recollections of meeting Blythe Danner, a co star in “Santini” and part of the “Tides” cast, resonated with me as I thought back.

Ms. Danner’s work and her gracious ways that night of the “Tides” premiere are nice memories.
