Full Moon in Blue Water stars
Gene Hackman as Floyd, the owner of a small bar in a coastal Texas town. Floyd's emotional baggage is awesome: he has never recovered from the death of his wife, he is saddled with his senile father "The General" (
Burgess Meredith), and creditors hound him at his fireside. Good-hearted bus driver Louise (
Teri Garr) tries her best to offer moral and financial support, as does Floyd's right-hand man, former mental patient Jimmy (
Elias Koteas). Strange and unexpected events follow, the upshot of which may leave Floyd even worse off than before.
