One morning, a flood of long-forgotten memories bring her to the realization that of all her accomplishments, she cannot console herself for the shame-filled day she was left standing at the altar.

  • "Summary: Written in 1927, Katherine Anne Porter's short story tells of an elderly woman who has reached the end of her life without having come to terms with having been jilted by the man she loved. Though she subsequently married and had children with another suitor, her matriarchal domination of her family caused resentment and was not enough to compensate for her sense of loss. As Granny Weatherall's mind begins to wander, the past intrudes upon the present, with those who passed on before her visiting her during her final hours. The title role is taken by Geraldine Fitzgerald and the film is introduced by actor Henry Fonda."
