Scene in car between father + son

Absolutely! One of the best father/son scenes ever (I'm qualifying it because I can't think of a better one, but there probably is). I teared up too. Walter Pidgeon deserved an Oscar just for that one scene.

Yes, I was thinking it must go down as a great scene for Walter Pidgeon.

I teared up too. I actually had to pause the movie to collect myself. It was one of the most touching scenes I've ever seen. And I've watched a LOT of movies.
