During an interview on Turner classic movies in 2020 Francis Ford Coppola conveyed a truth about the main character in the film. He was an actual person who Cuppola knew in his college years who was a football player who had an accident that left him with a plate in his head. Of course it took the compassionate genius of the writer to integrate an entire film around this person .
The love and affection and at times anger that the female lead had towards the person who had lost so much of his capacity to think and expressed himself, happens to be something that is replicated in many peoples lives as they face the challenge of Alzheimer's disease
Now, after a half century, this film should be released to a world that needs this model of compassion.
