00:30Republic Pictures Home Video is proud to bring you the next motion picture from the growing line of Hallmark Hall of Fame presentations.
00:46Academy Award winner Jessica Lange, star of Cape Fear, Country and Tootsie, now stars in Willa Cather's Old Pioneers, an epic story of hope and courage in the American frontier.
01:02You'll have to do the best you can for your brothers now. I've helped them to keep the land.
01:08We will, Papa. We will never lose the land.
01:11She would grow to make the land her own.
01:15The property of a family belongs to the men of the family. They do the work.
01:20It was all divided equally when you left to marry, but we each have senses of our own making.
01:24But to tame the frontier, she must struggle with her own heart.
01:29People have started to talk. Everybody knows Carl was just after your money.
01:33Let people go on talking as they like. We will go on living as we think best.
01:39And build a dream as big as the land she loves.
01:45Jessica Lange, Old Pioneers.
02:15The Hallmark Hall of Fame presents Academy Award winner and two-time Emmy winner Joanne Woodward in an extraordinary film.
02:35She was a woman who had everything life could offer.
02:44This slot's right into that legislation I'm working on.
02:47Because if it goes well, it'll be the springboard for my senatorial declaration.
02:52So we must seize this opportunity.
02:59Until her world was shattered.
03:02Does Phoebe use drugs?
03:03I don't know.
03:04Then you better ask her.
03:05How could you do that to your baby? How could you?
03:08I tried to stay clean.
03:10Are you prepared to take custody of your granddaughter?
03:12And her family torn apart.
03:15How dare you walk out and leave me to pick up the pieces?
03:19I got started when I couldn't stop. I don't want any more secrets.
03:23But her strength would prove.
03:26I hope to be able to stand here today and deny allegations, but I will not lie to the public.
03:32There is nothing that love cannot conquer.
03:37I may not know the right thing to say, but I am trying.
03:41Joanne Woodward, in a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation, Blindspot.
