However, he works the bakery full time.
Landy is married to his wife Bea Bretthorst, and, they have a daughter
named Lucy Bretthorst. Landy also has a
sister, in an insane asylum. Her name
is, Grace. At this time in Missouri,
1951, Landy has been working on getting his sister released from the insane
asylum. At the same time, Landy’s friend
from the U.S. Army asks Landy, for a big favor.
Landy’s friend lives in Brooklyn, New
York.
Furthermore; his daughter Carrie Staley, witnessed a brutal street
fight, and subsequent, stabbing. He asks
Landy, if his daughter can spend the summer with him and his family. Landy agrees, and, Carrie arrives in Boonville
Missouri. Furthermore, she quickly becomes friends with
Lucy Bretthorst, and, the Carter girls.
Landy is successful in petitioning the government, for Grace’s release. Landy travels to Oklahoma,
in order, to take his sister out of the insane asylum. Lucy and Carrie travel with him. Landy successfully returns to Boonville, with
Grace. The Bretthorst family hosts a big
party, in honor of, Grace’s release. A
neighbor, from across the street, grudgingly attends the party. His name is Dan Jones, and, he is re-married
to a woman named Ella Jean Jones. His
first wife was Grace. Therefore, Grace’s
name is Grace B. Jones. Grace and Dan, do
have an opportunity to talk to each other, at the party. Unfortunately, Grace starts to return to her
crazy self. Grace was in the insane
asylum, for more than 16 years.
Apparently, her last day before the insane asylum, was her wedding day
to Dan Jones. Ultimately, Grace cannot
escape her crazy self or past. Grace
becomes a huge problem, after a couple of tragic incidents. Landy is forced to find a solution, to the
Grace B. Jones problem. Director, Connie
Stevens, does a very good job. The viewer
does get the impression that, Grace is crazy.
Furthermore, the story is a little bit complicated. However, Director Connie Stevens is able to
make it, a coherent story. The writers,
Jeffry Elison and Connie Stevens, don’t do a good job. There is a lot that, falls short with this
story. Regrettably, the interaction
between the characters, also falls short.
The officially recognized stars contribute tremendously. They would be missed, if they were not
chosen. Special recognition is merited
to Michael Biehn, for the Landy Bretthorst character. Overall, Saving
Grace B. Jones (2009) earns the rating of 6 out of 10.
