LarryDarrow Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 This board has been so good I thought I would try for an obscure movie one more time. It's an old B&W that was shown on Christmas Day oh..., maybe 15 years ago. All I can remember is that much of it took place in an old colonial type house with the screen door/porch, etc. and the catch was that there was this tree in the back yard. The tree was either the 'Tree of Life' - or the 'Tree of Death'. I can't remember which. If you touched it, I think you would die soon (I think). Near the end of the movie, a character touched the tree and ends up climbing up into it. As long as that person stayed in the tree he/she wouldn't die, so the person plans on staying there so he/she won't die. It sounds crazy, but that's what I remember about it. Anyone?

vallo13 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I think it's 1939's "On Borrowed Time" with Lionel Barrymore and Bobs Watson and Sir Cedric Hardwicke as Mr.Brink an agent of Death.

LarryDarrow Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 wow. That sounds like it. Two versions as well, it appears. Many thanks vallo13. I'm thinking it was the Lionel Barrymore version that I saw. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
