Darwin 102

In the performance that earned him an Oscar nomination and New York Film Critics award as 1968’s Best Actor, Alan Arkin is Singer in Carson McCullers’ acclaimed first novel. When he moves to a sleepy Southern town to be near his hospitalized friend (Chuck McCann), a brain damaged man-child, Singer’s silent kindness draws him to another broken in body and spirit. Playing some of those others in a prime ensemble are Cicely Tyson, Percy Rodrigues, Stacy Keach and fellow Oscar nominee Sondra Locke. Directed by Robert Ellis Miller. (1968, 124 min.)
