March 4 1983 

Tender Mercies, written by Horton Foote, and directed by Bruce Beresford, opens in limited markets. In a dusty backwater on the Texas plains an alcohol-ravaged, former C&W star finds his road to redemption in the company of a winsome widow & her young son. A quietly eloquent Robert Duvall in Oscar-winning performance. Co-starring Tess Harper and Wilford Brimley.
