"14 year old Homer Macauley is determined to be the best and fastest bicycle telegraph messenger anyone has ever seen. His older brother has gone to war, leaving Homer to look after his widowed mother, his older sister and his little brother. And so it is that as spring turns to summer, 1942, Homer Macauley delivers messages of love, hope, pain… and death… to the good people of Ithaca. And Homer Macauley will grapple with one message that will change him forever. Based on William Saroyan's 1943 novel, The Human Comedy, ITHACA is a coming of age story about the exuberance of youth, the abruptness of change, the sweetness of life, the sting of death, and the sheer goodness that lives in each and every one of us" YouTube link Amicalement

The original movie made during the war, with Mickey Rooney as the messenger boy, was damn good. One of Mickey's best, not counting the Andy Hardy series, lol. I think it was titled the same as the novel. This looks like it could be a decent remake. |

Agreed, looks like potential. Several hankies recommended it looks like though :) |
