Zadnja priložnost, Harvey

Slovenski opis filma:

Na poroki svoje hčere v Londonu starejši moški vnovič odkrije svoj romantični duh in novo ljubezen svojega življenja. Newyorčan Harvey Shine je tik pred tem, da izgubi svojo zavoženo službo kot skladatelj otroških pesmic. Potem ko ga šef opozori, da ima le še eno priložnost, da se izkaže, se Harvey konec tedna odpravi v London na poroko svoje hčere, a obljubi, da se bo do ponedeljka zagotovo vrnil. V Londonu izve le to, da je hči določila svojega očima, da jo bo oddal kot nevesto. Po svojih močeh prikrije razočaranje in zapusti poroko še pred večerjo, da bi prišel pravočasno na letališče, a vseeno zamudi letalo. Ko pokliče šefa, da bi mu pojasnil zamudo, ga ta nemudoma odpusti iz službe. Žalost utaplja v letališkem baru, ko se zaplete v pogovor s cinično 40-letno uslužbenko Nacionalne statistične agencije Kate.

Originalni opis filma:

Harvey Shine (Dustin Hoffman) is in London for the weekend for his daughter Susan's (Liane Balaban's) wedding. His work in New York City preoccupies him: he writes music for ads, and he knows his boss Marvin (Richard Schiff) is pushing him aside for younger talent. With family, he's also on the sidelines - long divorced, his wife Jean (Kathy Baker) remarried, her husband Brian (James Brolin) is closer to his daughter than him. His path crosses that of Kate Walker (Dame Emma Thompson), unmarried, her life becoming that of a spinster, set up by friends on blind dates leading nowhere. After Harvey's no good terrible day, he talks to Kate at a Heathrow bar. She's not interested. Where can this conversation lead? Back at his daughter's reception, Brian rises to give a toast.
