Burt Lancaster stars as a man who decides to get home by swimming as many of his neighbourhood's pools as he can, meeting various people along the way.
There is no story yet (50 mins in), other than his slow progress, as he stops and chats with different people about different things.
Seems that the lack of plot is the point, as there is nothing to get caught up in and worry about or think too much about, it's just a pleasant jaunt through a neighbourhood on a nice sunny day. Strangely soothing.

I remember is from when I was a kid. It was weird but satisfying.

1 hr 20.
His initial deep nostalgia seems to be giving way to a deteriorating mental condition.

I like it. It does get a little dark at the end.

He was always my favourite of the golden age actors, and was still turning in great performances until the very end. Reminds me, must watch Atlantic City again.
