Strangers in Good Company/Women and Old Age

Abstract: A 4 page film review on Strangers in Good Company (1990, directed by Cynthia Scott), which is an insightful film that is basically a character study of eight women, seven elderly ladies and their 20-something bus driver, who become stranded in the Canadian countryside after their bus breaks down. Application of the life course theoretical perspective developed by G.H. Elder, Jr. aids the viewer in understanding the film's thematic messages. To illustrate this point, this discussion of the film focuses on what it tells viewers, as informed by the Elder's life course perspective, about the life of one of the women, Catherine Roche, age 68, a Roman Catholic nun. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
