Watching Films Based On The Works Of Pat Conroy

Often, I have truly enjoyed watching movies based on the work of the late, great author Pat Conroy on TCM and other outlets.

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

Certainly, another great one to watch is “Prince of Tides,” based on Conroy’s book and a 1991 film, starring Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte. 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. The same can be said about Mr. Nolte’s gracious actions at a subsequent event

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