MUMFORD is a neglected work, filled with unexpected twists and delightful portraits of a small town. I compare it to David Mamet's STATE AND MAIN, although perhaps MUMFORD IS a little darker, a little more probing. Still, it is fun and funny, and demonstrates an eccentric, but very rewarding sense of psychology and small town life.
Lots of characters here, and lots of personal problems, some easily solvable, some not, but there's a goodness to most of them. This film requires a little patience, as it starts and builds slowly.
