Going Home is a 1971 drama film directed by Herbert B. Leonard and starring Robert Mitchum, Brenda Vaccaro and Jan-Michael Vincent, who was nominated for a Golden Globe award for best supporting actor.

[1][2] Harry Graham (Mitchum) is a lonely and beaten-down man who has recently been released from prison after serving time for murdering his wife 13 years earlier.

Vincent Canby of The New York Times did not care for the film although he praised its intelligence and some of the actors: Going Home, which opened yesterday at the Victoria and other theaters around town, is an exceedingly nasty movie...

Going Home is more objectionable, more pernicious, than other, much dumber movies because it appears to have some surface intelligence... Mitchum has reached that point in his career where he doesn't seem to act as much as inhabit whatever film he's in,...

[3]Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times did not care for the film and gave it 2 out of 4 stars: Going Home is a fairly awful melodrama that's worth seeing primarily for the presence of Robert Mitchum.
