Better Late Than Never is a 1979 American TV film. It was written by John Carpenter and directed by Richard Crenna.
Plot
Harry Landers (Harold Gould) resides in a retirement home in a quaint corner of Massachusetts. Strongly averse to the idea of being confined within the walls of this retirement facility, Landers likens himself to a bird stripped of its wings. Adding to his discontent, the hospice is under the strict and somewhat sadistic management of Miss Davis (Tyne Daly), a woman known for her harsh methods.
In contrast to the resigned acceptance of impending death by other residents in the home, Harry decides he will no longer tolerate the numerous injustices perpetrated by the director. He initiates a rebellion, rallying a colonel (Donald Pleasence), a former captain (George Gobel), and all the other elderly inhabitants of the hospice. Their collective message is a powerful one: that life remains precious in every moment, even as it approaches its end.
