The Oldest Living Graduate

In The Oldest Living Graduate, Henry Fonda portrays Col. J. C. Kincaid, a cantankerous figure in a Texas family. His son, Floyd, played by George Grizzard, seeks his father's approval by orchestrating a celebration to honor Kincaid as the oldest living graduate of a military academy. This city-wide event only intensifies Kincaid's sour disposition.

The film runs for 93 minutes and was originally presented live, enhancing its unique viewing experience. Adapted from Preston Jones' play and broadcast from Southern Methodist University, this production captures a moment in television history. Collectors may find interest in the VHS format, which preserves this unique television event and the performances of its notable cast, including Cloris Leachman and John Lithgow.
