From the moment this movie opens with a fine David Sanborn soundtrack you meet the title character, Micheal Finnigan. Veteran actor Robert Preston plants himself down in the middle of the picture and never lets go. Soon, Mary Tyler Moore appears and the two seem comfortable and play well together. This unlikely duo become friends but the attraction for more is there from the get go. Rounding out the cast is the devine Sylvia Sidney and Sam Waterston in one his few unsympathetic characters. It's a gentle story that's thankfully never over played. And, that's not easy to do with a movie that's at the same time a light comedy, romance, and sometimes a drama. This was one of the great Preston's last films before his death and oddly enough, one of HBO's earliest in house productions. An often overlooked gem Finnegan Begin Again was a hint of the many more quality productions to come from HBO in the next 3 decades.Read full review
A great little gem of a film that we've wanted for a long time. Not on DVD in the USA. I'm happy to have it be part of my movie collection. Brian

One of my favorite all time movies ... Very few people have ever heard of it. Combines a little comedy with poignant and serious scenes. Lots of good lessons..." Romance is cotton candy, real love is what you do for each other", just to name one. Robert Preston and Mary Tyler Moore are really good together but Preston steals it. Sam Waterston and Sylvia Sidney add good performances. Wish it was available in DVD, but was worth hooking up my old VCR to watch more than once.
my mom has been wanting this movie for a while. she was so pleased.

I'm very familiar with the film, it's excellent but this tape is not. I realize it's a used video but was told it played well. It doesn't, it consistently flips. Not happy at all.
