Promises to Keep

Robert Mitchum stars as Jack Palmer, an aging cowboy with a terrifying secret who returns to the family he abandoned 30 years ago in the impassioned, emotional drama Promises To Keep. Mitchum and his real-life son, Christopher, and grandson, Bentley, portray three generations of Palmer men whose familial relationships are profoundly tested by Jack's reappearance. Although Jack's wife (Claire Bloom) bears him no malice, Jack's son (Christopher Mitchum) detests his father and resents his interference in their lives. But Jack can't wait any longer to settle the past: He knows he is dying. Only a miracle ... or a tragedy ... can heal the age-old rifts between the Palmer men who each have their own Promises To Keep.
