A Touch of Grace (1973)
Shirley Booth stars as Grace Simpson, a woman older in years but considerably younger in spirit than her family — portrayed by Marion Mercer and Warren Berlinger. A warm, human comedy. A lively widow and her gravedigger boyfriend reach out for the joys of life—to the constant distress of her daughter and son-in-law. "A Touch of Grace" is based on the British series “For the Love of Ada”.
