Danny Young: I thought you died!

Bill Miner: Well, I haven’t.

A man comes out of confinement and faces uncertainty as he finds the world has changed around him. No, this isn’t my weekly nightmare of what will happen when New York’s stay-at-home order is lifted, it’s Kino Lorber’s new 4K restoration of 1982’s The Grey Fox. Directed by Phillip Borsos, The Grey Fox boasts a heartfelt, tender performance from Richard Farnsworth and stunning cinematography, both of which more than make up for a plot that, though always sensitive and engaging, can feel a bit slight at times.
