Full Moon in Blue Water

      Gene Hackman plays Floyd, a recluse since his wife's disappearance. He used to run a bar with his wife, but business has dwindled since she disappeared and all he does is mourn her daily. He also lives with his father-in-law (Burgess Meredith), who has Alzheimer's disease and uses a wheelchair. Elias plays a local man named Jimmy, who is mentally slow but enjoys Meredith's company.

     Louise (Teri Garr), is Floyd's friend, who tries to encourage Floyd to take some action before he loses his bar due to non-payment of taxes.
