Adam at 6 A.M.
Adam at 6 A.M. is a 1970 American drama film directed by Robert Scheerer. It stars Michael Douglas, Lee Purcell, Joe Don Baker, Louise Latham, Charles Aidman, Grayson Hall, Marge Redmond, and Dana Elcar. The film did not receive much attention when it was released. The film was filmed almost entirely on location in the small Midwest town of Excelsior Springs, Missouri,[2] as well as Cameron, Missouri and Orrick, Missouri. Plot
Adam Gaines, a semantics professor at UCLA, becomes complacent in his life and hears about the death of a relative in Missouri. He drives cross-country to attend the funeral and pay his respects, deciding to spend the summer there working as a laborer. Along the way, he meets Jerri Jo Hopper and falls in love, developing new friendships with the town locals. Now, he must decide which direction he wants his life to take—whether to stay in Missouri or return to California. Cast
