American Playhouse: Pilgrim, Farewell (1980)
Episode 11, Season 1
Exceptional low-budget drama for PBS production

Pilgrim...Farewell is a drama concerning the effect of a mother's cancer on the rest of the family. The relationships are realistic and believable, and gives a good idea what people who experience a cancer death in the family go through.
There is a wordless scene where four of the actors participate in a slow dance that is truly exceptional: it portrays quite well that the point of life is the quality of the connection we have to other people in our lives; life is too short to have much other impact (as the drama demonstrates).
Christopher Lloyd appears in this drama aired on PBS in 1980. It is significant that I've seen this drama once, and 20 years later I've never forgotten it.
