Nobody's Fool is a heartwarming comedy-drama film that follows the life of Donald "Sully" Sullivan, a charming but irresponsible construction worker in his 60s who is trying to make a comeback in life. Despite his reputation for being a troublemaker, Sully has a soft spot for his son and grandson, who he reconnects with after years of absence. As he tries to mend his relationships and find a sense of purpose, Sully must also contend with his landlady's banker son, who is scheming to evict him and build a new development on the land. With a talented cast, including Paul Newman as Sully and Jessica Tandy as his landlady, the film is a feel-good, character-driven tale of family, forgiveness, and redemption.
