synopsis
Adam Arkin plays a frustrated teacher who decides to hit the road. En route to nowhere in particular, he befriends drifter David Morse, a former convict. Arkin and Morse get along famously until the stunning Susan Wheeler Duff enters the scene. The performances in this deliberately "small" film are uniformly fine, with Ms. Duff close to perfection. Personal Foul falters a bit pace-wise, but it doesn't really hurt the picture.
