So much of live TV has disappeared that we are fortunate to have this video of
The Oldest Living Graduate. This play was done from a theater at Southern
Methodist University in Dallas and Henry Fonda leads an impressive cast.
Set in 1980 Fonda though he does not realize it yet is the oldest living graduate of a Texas military academy. Several deaths during the World Wars and by simple attrition have made it so.
Fonda's son George Grizzard has plans for developing some acreage on their land that Fonda doesn't want touched. He also has plans for a media event to celebrate his dad's survival. Both Fonda doesn't want to hear about.
The story is a touching one and Public Television assembled a great cast to support Fonda and Grizzard.
This one should not be missed.
