Bruce Dern plays a decrepit old guy who believes the Publishers Clearing House-type mailer that informs him he's won a million dollars. His secret isn't kept for long. He journeys from Montana to Nebraska with his son, to pick up his alleged winnings, and everyone he bumps into congratulates him on being a millionaire.There were dozens of fabulous lines, including my favorite: Woody (Bruce Dern's) wife [upon learning Woody has "won" a million dollars] "I never knew the son of a bitch even wanted to be a millionaire! He should have thought about that years ago and got a job!"
This was a gentle, very un-Hollywood-like film. Wry, dry, easy-going fun.
