Terms of Endearment, according to press notes, “traces the relationship between a highly opinionated mother and her feisty daughter as they seek to find humor and courage in the face of life’s challenges. This funny and touching story about love captures the delicate, and sometimes fractured, bonds between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, and lovers both old and new.”
The 1983 movie starred Jack Nicholson, Debra Winger and Shirley MacLaine. The film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
