Noah Dearborn (Sidney Portier) is a simple man living a simple life on the farm where he was born. Everything about him belies his 90-plus years. He's energetic, hard working and keeps to himself with the exception of doing carpentry work for others.
Greedy developer Christian Nelson (George Newbern) wants Dearborn's land and is angry when Dearborn rebuffs his offer for $400K cash. Nelson sets about to have Dearborn declared incompetent so he can seize the land for his project.
Nelson's girlfriend, Dr. Valerie Crane (Mary-Louise Parker) is a psychologist so he calls her to come to Georgia to help get Dearborn committed, but Crane is taken under the spell of this charming Dearborn and sees that he's quite competent -- and determined to keep his land.
Dianne Wiest plays the cafe owner who has always admired -- and even loves -- Dearborn.
This CBS made-for-tv film was directed by Gregg Champion.
Run Time: 1 hour, 27 minutes
Rated PG for some mild language.
My personal rating: B-
