Synopsis: Two old men in a Florida town become friends more out of loneliness than compatibility. Ex-sea captain Frank is a garrulous teller of tales; Walter, a dignified former barber. Frank hopes to bed either the woman he meets at the movies or his flinty landlady. Walter frequents a café, where he shyly flirts with a young waitress. But it's the bond between the two men that thrives -- until their bitter falling-out.
