Synopsis: | The setting is Port Town, N.C., where four widows live on the same street. The ladies have buried nine husbands among them, and while they still have some middle aged physical charms-and a whole lot of commensurate desire-finding dates is a chore, simply because the local menfolk are (understandably) skittish about the risk of association. Nonetheless, Magnolia Ellis throws a party. Three eligible gents haltingly show up, and the evening becomes a laugh filled affair of getting revved up, one of the suitors dies. | |||||

Synopsis: | The action begins on the small farm in South Carolina that Cephus Miles, an orphan, has inherited from his family. Young and strong, he is content to work the land-until his childhood sweetheart rejects him and goes off to college. Not believing in the Vietnam war, Cephus is imprisoned as a draft evader for refusing to serve. By the time he is released, Cephus has lost his land to the tax collector so he heads north to build a new life. With a good job and a slinky new girlfriend, he finds the big city exciting and rewarding. But soon after, the dream begins to fade-Cephus loses his job and becomes involved in drugs and prostitution. Pulling himself together, he returns to South Carolina and settles back on the land with his old sweetheart. Despite all, he has never lost his joyous goodwill, his indomitable spirit and the conviction that one day his quest for fulfillment will be rewarded. | |||||
