One of my all time favorites, _THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL_, Geraldine Page won a
best actress Oscar.  It was a 1985 film but well worth the searching for.
 
"Leisurely, richly textured filmization of Horton Foote's 1953 televsion play
(later done on Broadway) about a widow, living unhappily with her son and
daughter-in-law, determined to make her way home to Bountiful, Texas, for one
last look."  Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide 1992, p. 1282.
