The friend has never played anyone false, and his uprightness is fascinating to Jimmie's wife and daughter, also serving as a catalyst for reforming an angry neighborhood youth. The wife is torn between the two men's lifestyles, though there is no hint of unfaithfulness. The daughter, on the other hand, has been waiting all her life for someone like her father's family friend to come along and put things into perspective. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
