- 1918: (Description provided to help locate the correct film). The legendary American dramatist and screenwriter Horton Foote adapted his own play (part of The Orphans’ Home Cycle) for this understated drama about a small Texas town caught up in the final year of World War I when the influenza epidemic starts claiming lives. It’s not so much a plague movie as it is a family drama, centering on a dry goods’ shop owner and his extended family, including his wife’s teenage fuck-up brother, played by a young Matthew Broderick. The flu becomes a metaphor for the loss of innocence and the indifference of fate. (Available on YouTube.)
