The Golden Honeymoon (1980)

Member Rating:

First telecast February 4, 1980, Golden Honeymoon is an easygoing adaptation of the Ring Lardner short story. James Whitmore and Teresa Wright play a New Jersey couple who celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with a second honeymoon. Their Florida idyll is disrupted when the couple's old acquaintance Stephen Elliott shows up. Elliot had been engaged to Teresa 52 years earlier, a fact that prompts Whitmore to behave in an uncharacteristically obnoxious nature. Calculated to put Elliott in his place, Whitmore's boorishness succeeds in alienating Teresa as well. Scripted by Frederic Hunter, the 60-minute Golden Honeymoon was the second-season opener of PBS' American Playhouse. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I love the introductions by the late Henry Fonda of the American Short Story series. The pace is a bit sluggish of this film, but the casting is perfect & the location centered during the Gilded Age of tourism in Florida, namely this time in St. Petesburg. There are bursts of comedy weaved throughout this tale spun around a vacationing 50th anniversary honeymoon couple. I laughed alout when one character loses their teeth unexpectedly while playing scuttleboard. To find out who and how, you'll have to rent the film or read the book!
