never let anyone tell you Jessica Lange isn't one of the best
17 March 2020
In a role that she was born to play, Jessica Lange stars as a woman who has to head her family after her husband dies. Further complications arise when the family moves to Baltimore. The cast of "Men Don't Leave" puts their heart and soul into the performances, and Jessica Lange gets to co-star with Kathy Bates over two decades before they became co-stars on "American Horror Story" (I wonder if AHS creator Ryan Murphy took inspiration from their performances over the years).

Basically, it's a look at life in general, and the challenges that people can face. There's a reason why I adore Jessica Lange. The rest of the cast includes Joan Cusack, Arliss Howard, Charlie Korsmo (of "Dick Tracy" and "Hook", although he later left acting and became a lawyer) and Chris O'Donnell (whose career would've proliferated more significantly had he not ruined his reputation with "Batman and Robin").

This is probably the only movie wherein we have a Disney song immediately followed by the song associated with the Looney Tunes.
