Cookie's Fortune
Robert Altman's homespun comedy/mystery is set in a small southern town, where the suicide of wealthy, eccentric Cookie (Patricia Neal) brings out the wild eccentricities of Cookie's family and the town's denizens. This easygoing film is sparked by the wonderful performances of Charles Dutton, Glenn Close, Liv Tyler and Lyle Lovett.
