About The Beauty of the Common Tool
Time and again a man will stand before a hardware store window eyeing the tools arrayed behind the glass; his mouth will water; he will go in and hand over $2.65 for a perfectly special kind of wrench; and probably he will never, never, use it for anything. -Walker Evans
Directed by Owen Thomas, The Beauty of the Common Tool leans on a strong ensemble — Phil McCall, Davie McKay, James Martin — 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 screen titles of 1996.
