About Waiting for the Wind
Young Charlie adores his grandfather Walter. Walter, who is dying, is building a sailing vessel on his farm, far from the sea and seemingly cannot live to see the boat launched. David, Charlie’s father and Walter’s son-in-law lost his wife some time before and has now lost his faith in God as well. He argues with Walter about Walter's persistence in telling Charlie to have faith that they will sail the boat together soon, as David knows Walter will not live long enough to do so. But sometimes miracles happen.
Directed by Don Schroeder, Waiting for the Wind leans on a strong ensemble — Robert Mitchum, Rhonda Fleming, Jameson Parker — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1991.
