Road movies always make for interesting stories, including "Harry and Tonto". In a role that won him Best Actor, Art Carney plays retired New Yorker Harry Coombes, who decides to go on a cross-country tour with his cat Tonto. Harry not only visits his son and daughter (Larry Hagman and Ellen Burstyn, respectively), but also manages to live life to its fullest, come what may.
Among other things, this movie shows that regardless of what we may assume, old folks still have it even at their age. I guess that when I'm as old as Harry, I'll have to go on a cross-country tour. Who knows what there is out there.
