- Summary:
- Murray Burns is funny, feisty, compassionate and very determined to have nothing to do with the rush-hour world. But his resolve is tested when social workers Sandra and Albert tell him that he must shape up, or his twelve-year-old nephew Nick will be shipped out to a foster home. Released when workday lifestyles went largely unchallenged, this inventive comedy-drama gleefully speaks to the nonconformist in all.
