Hi folks
Does anyone know in what movie is the following dialogue from:
Ben: "There's a shooting star!"
Toomer: "There's no shooting star,boy. That's the tear of infant Jesus falling on account of such a sinful and hateful world"

arsen - that's "The Great Santini" (1979)starring Robert Duvall and Blythe Danner. Michael O'Keefe was Ben and Stan Shaw played Toomer. About the family of a Marine fighter pilot with an attitude.

Also a wonderful book (though not my favorite Pat Conroy) - if you haven't read it, DO!
