This tale reminded me somewhat of the the John Candy character in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
It also has a passing resemblance to the movie Marty, a story about loneliness.
Mickey Rooney plays sailor Augie on shore leave with his sailor pals. Only problem is that Augie is so overbearing a few of them want nothing to do with him.
Augie goes to visit his cousin, but he wants to scram as soon as Augie arrives.
Carla (Susan Oliver) the new next door neighbour takes pity on him and both begin to talk and hit it off.
Only danger is lurking as two punks who Augie insulted come round looking for him.
It is a story about loneliness and belonging. By the end Augie values friendship more than revenge. Also that someone was waiting for him to return.
Good performances from Rooney and Oliver. Look out for Warren Oates and Paul Mazursky.
