Once his tour of duty is up he begins a new command—his family. His wife (Blythe Danner) and four children have a difficult time adjusting to “lieutenant colonel dad,” especially his eldest son Ben (Michael O’Keefe) who struggles to emerge from the shadow of his overbearing father. Based on the novel by Pat Conroy, The Great Santini is a sure-fire winner with excellent dialogue that is delivered by a stellar cast. Interestingly, the family’s South Carolina home is the same house used in The Big Chill.
