Painted House, A (Full Frame)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Until that September in 1952, Luke Chandler had never kept a secret or told a single lie. But in that long, hot summer when 10-year-old Luke Chandler comes of age, two groups of migrant workers- and two very dangerous men-come through the Arkansas Delta to work with the Chandler cotton farm. And suddenly mysteries flood Luke's world. A murder leaves the town seething in gossip and suspicion. A beautiful young woman catches Luke's eye. A fatherless baby is born, and someone has begun furtively painting the bare clapboards of the Chandler farmhouse, slowly, painstakingly bathing the run-down structure in gleaming white. As young Luke watches the world around him, he shelters secrets that could shatter lives- and change his family and his town forever. A memorable adaptation of John Grisham's life-affirming story, "A Painted House" draws on childhood memories and "local lore" from his Arkansas roots.
