PETER STRAUSS, LOVE ON THE LAND, 1997, FROM THE MAILBOX

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

A reader stumbled across "the ending of a curious little film with Peter Strauss and perhaps an English actress whose name escapes me " but got distracted by the family and missed the credits. Can you help?

Indeed, we can. We all enjoyed this one at a movie party a few years back---LOVE ON THE LAND---a poignant film (actually a mini-series based on the 1934 George Dell novel called THE EARTH ABIDETH) with PETER STRAUSS, who as you know, got his start with the CROTON SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL; read more about that here.

BUT BACK TO THE MOVIE---LOVE ON THE LAND---1997; Great cast, Strauss, Rachel Ward, Rip Torn, Hume Cronyn---Synopsis: The Linthorne saga, set against the daily rituals and chores of life on the land, reveals the determination, strength and indomitable spirit of the families who settled America.
