Tuesdays With Morrie
The multi-Emmy Award-winning film based on Mitch Albom's book about his relationship with college mentor after getting in touch after seeing him on a TV programme talking about what it was like to die from Lou Gehrig's disease. Ashamed that he hadn't been in touch for 16 years, Albom flew to Boston for a reunion and began a series of weekly visits. The film details those weekly visits and their shared reflections on love, work, marriage, envy, children, forgiveness, community and ageing.

ODYSSEY VIDEO Tuesdays With Morrie [1999]
If the idea of an Oprah Winfrey-produced film detailing the last days of a dying man and his inspirational effect on those left behind sounds a little cloying, <I>Tuesdays with Morrie</I> will be a rather pleasant surprise. While the presentation of this true story is certainly very American in tone, and it was obviously made for television (the points where it faded to commercial breaks are clear), it's still a surprisingly satisfying piece of work. The credit for that can firmly be laid at the door of Jack Lemmon, appearing in what was to be his last film. He excels as the terminally ill college professor Morrie Schwartz, determined to use his passing as a medium for teaching others about life. Still showing signs of the spark that made the movies of his heyday so memorable, Lemmon is also capable of bringing a magnificent pathos to the role. Co-star Hank Azaria is a more-than-equal foil, instilling his character with a growing awareness of self that blossoms before the viewer. Yes, at times it is a little too schmaltzy for its own good, but <I>Tuesdays with Morrie</I> is a film capable of visiting emotional extremes with ease.<p> <B>On the DVD:</B> A very scanty package, with the usual scene access and Dolby Digital stereo accompanied by a text-only resume of the movie and the briefest of biographies of its cast--in Lemmon's case a massively ineffectual effort.--<I>Phil Udell</I>

Time Warner AudioBooks Tuesdays with Morrie
This true story about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared to the bestseller list for many reasons. For starters, it reminds us of the affection and gratitude that many of us still feel for the significant mentors of our past. It also plays out a fantasy many of us have entertained: what would it be like to look those people up again, tell them how much they meant to us, maybe even resume the mentorship? And we meet Morrie Schwartz--a one of a kind professor, whom the author describes as looking like a cross between a biblical prophet and Christmas elf. Finally, we are privy to intimate moments of Morrie's final days as he lies dying from a terminal illness. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed <I>mensch</I> manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully. Kudos to author and acclaimed sports columnist Mitch Albom for telling this universally touching story with such grace and humility. --<I>Gail Hudson</I>
