Geraldine Page in A Trip to Bountiful
Uploaded by videomix22
I love the scene where she is riding on the bus and admitting to Thelma, that the boy that she loved is not the one she married. It is so poignant. And Geraldine Page is beyond-words-wonderful in this movie. It was just aired on Cable TV recently.
The theatrical trailer for the 1985 film of "The Trip to Bountiful" starring Geraldine Page, John Heard, Carlin Glynn and Rebecca De Mornay. Geraldine Page FINALLY won a Best Actress Oscar after 8 previous nominations. Co-nominees Anne Bancroft, Whoopi Goldberg, Jessica Lange and Meryl Streep stood up and cheered while Geraldine tried to find her shoes that she had taken off earlier in the evening at the Academy Awards ceremony. Written by two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter Horton Foote ("To Kill a Mockingbird", "Tender Mercies"). Directed by Peter Masterson.

A Trip to Bountiful credits roll over the song of the movie, Softly and Tenderly sung by Cynthia Clawson.
Here is Geraldine Page in her first movie role in the 1961 film of Tennessee Williams' drama "Summer and Smoke".

Beauty in any form is reason to stand or sit taller and feel a warm glow in the heart. The universe exists only for those who breathe beauty into our experience.
I need to see this movie again. I was only 18 when it came out, and I think it might mean a bit more now.
