My one and only follows actor george hamiltons teenage years.
its an appealing comedy, a road movie set in the 1950s and starring renée zellweger as his mother, the irrepressible anne devereaux.
shes a blond southern belle, married to dan, a bandleader (kevin bacon) who loves her, but is a compulsive womaniser.
after finding him in bed with one woman too many, anne leaves him and takes her two sons: george (logan lerman) and robbie (mark rendall), half-brothers from her two marriages.
in a sky-blue cadillac convertible, they set off an odyssey to find anne a new husband - the only way she can imagine to support them.
anne is 40-ish and attractive to men, but no longer this years model.
their journeys take them to a series of her old beaus, in boston, pittsburgh and st.
louis; these hunting expeditions are seen through georges dubious eyes.
one is an ex-military sadist, one a playboy, all not suitable candidates.
she tries actually working, but being a waitress is beyond her, and then she apparently strikes pay dirt with a proposal from a man whose family owns a big house-paint business.
