Rachel River Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Sandy Smolan
Genres: Drama, Romance
Rating:
Rachel River is a small town in Minnesota. When local "looney tune" Aileen_Cole dies, the town comes to the slow realization that the reclusive Cole has in fact touched the lives of virtually every citizen--and nearly always in a positive manner. That realization is so slow because, immediately after Cole's demise, everyone is more concerned with scrambling to recover a buried treasure rumored to be on the old woman's property. The very thin plotline is fleshed out by individual episodes involving some of the town's more visible denizens: Cole's slobbish nephew Craig_T._Nelson, Nelson's viper-tongued sister Jo_Henderson, elderly Viveca_Lindfors, local radio personality Pamela_Reed, covetous undertaker James_Olson, and "village idiot" Zeljko_Ivanek, whose top billing in the opening credits is justified as the story develops. Rachel River premiered in June of 1989 as a PBS American Playhouse telecast, then enjoyed a brief theatrical distribution. Hal Erickson, Rovi
