Memories of Me

Memories of Me is a 1988 American comedy-drama film by director Henry Winkler, starring Billy Crystal, Alan King, and JoBeth Williams.

Watching old home movies with Lisa, the romantic interest in Abbie's life and pediatrician in the hospital, she asks about his family.

When told he had a heart attack, Abe disappears, calling Abbie with the bar's pay phone to avoid too intimate of an interaction.

Abe insists Abbie stay in his apartment, but he won't take time off from work while he's there.

Father and son grow closer in time, doing things together they hadn't before, like riding ponies, fishing... and, before it's too late, Abbie helps Abe get a speaking role in a film.
