Synopsis
A crush can make anyone feel young again – even a widower named Ralph.
On an ordinary day in a routine life, Ralph decides to take a different path on his daily walk – one that leads him to an unexpected second chance at love.
Relying on a renewed boyish charm, Ralph attempts to woo the elegant, but distant, Carol.
Defying Carol's reticence – and his lonely sister's jealousy – Ralph embarks on the trip of a lifetime, and regains a happiness that seemed all but lost.
The Last Romance is a heart-warming comedy about the transformative power of love.
Press Reviews
"Remarkably free of cliché… the golden-years love story casts a bewitching spell… it should enjoy a long life.” – Variety“A tale that mixes heartbreak with its humor and opera with the laughter… for all the breezy throwaway jokes – and there is enough laughter to make even old age seem pleasurable – the central message about seizing life with a passion comes through loud and clear.” – Naples News”You'll fall in love with The Last Romance… the audience howls with laughter."
