How Harry and the Hendersons Taught Us to Meet the Mysterious with Compassion
In the 1987 movie “Harry and the Hendersons,” currently available on Peacock, John Lithgow plays George Henderson, a man whose family forms an extraordinary connection with a creature from cryptozoology. The Hendersons have recently returned from a weekend in nature and are traveling home in a wood-paneled station wagon. The weather is pleasant, the scenery picturesque, and the sunlight dances through the trees occasionally causing brief, blinding flashes as it filters through.
