...South Carolina. The footage they produced was aired in 1992 as part of a story accusing the supermarket chain of redating out-of-date beef, bleaching meat to hide its odor and mixing old meat in with new. The day after the PrimeTime Live episode, Food Lion's stock price fell by more than 10 percent...

As the district court ruled, it was Food Lion's food handling practices themselves, not the method by which they were recorded and published, which caused the chain's losses in sales and stock price.

Even without our complete comprehension, Lynch always manages to show something unexpected, something fresh. But is this any less justified of an approach to filmmaking? Sure, we know what's going to happen, 15 minutes into the movie and this fact, coupled with our optimistic belief that happy endings still exist, leaves us confident that Alvin Straight will...
