The Jilting of Granny Weatherall by Katherine Anne Porter

VHS, 57 min., 1980

On her deathbed, a stubborn and once domineering matriarch faces the long suppressed realization that all of the accomplishments of her adult life cannot console her nor compensate for the shame-filled day she was left standing at the altar. As a young woman, she donned her white veil, set out her cake and waited with the priest for tall, handsome George to arrive. He never came.
