Flicks in Five: On Golden Pond

It's almost Valentine's Day, and it really is tough to pick a favorite romantic movie. There are all kinds of favorites and it really depends on what mood you're in, and what sort of love story you want.

Coming in at no. 22 on "AFI's 100 Greatest Love Stories of All Time" was a 1981 film directed by Mark Rydell, and starring Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn: On Golden Pond.

It was Henry Fonda's last film role, for which he won a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Actor. His co-star, Katherine Hepburn, won an Academy Award for Best Actress.

On this week's Flicks in Five, we'll hear some of the beautiful main theme to On Golden Pond, composed by jazz great, Dave Grusin.
