Max McLean took the lead role as middle-aged Lewis while Nicholas Ralph, star of the PBS series All Creatures Great and Small, played Lewis as a young man. While commenting on the movie during its press release, McLean said, “When we began working on our distribution of the film, we had a handful of theatres, mostly in major markets, with one showing on one day on November 3.’’
‘’I am grateful to the tens of thousands of people who came out to fill theaters in almost every major city throughout the country, which has allowed the run to extend for this very important film!” he added.
