Reunion At Fairborough is a must see for Robert Mitchum ( Carl) fans. He gives a powerful performance as a Carl a 60 year old business executive basically put out to pasture and replaced by younger people. As he said he made $110k ( in 1985) and replaced by two younger people who make $70k combined. Besides that his wife walks out on him. This is a very similar scenario to Michael Douglas in Falling Down, but he does receive a much better fate, then Douglas who goes psycho. What happens is he was invited to the 40th anniversary to his old squadron in Fairborough, England, and there he Mets up with his old flame Sally (Deborah Kerr), and finds out they had a child together ( who died), and a granddaughter named Sheila who is very anti-American. He is able to win the love and respect of Sheila when she gets to know him. Especially he uses this quote "If you know me and hate me, that is okay, but if he don't know me and hate me, that is damn stupidity." Spoilers ahead: In the end, he stays in England with Sally and Sheila and is able to build a new ( and better) life. Easy 10/10 stars, and a must for Mitchum fans.
