Blacklisted Hollywood writer loses his memory and finds a new home, and a new life, in a small town.

This was a nice little feel-good movie, and as a librarian, I was of course pleased with all the freedom of speech stuff. Jim Carrey, who is a good actor when he stops trying to be the new Robin Williams, was quite charming in this story of a blacklisted Hollywood writer who loses his memory and is adopted by a whole town as one of their lost WWII vets returned to them.

I'm not a big fan of Martin Landau (too many episodes of Space 1999) but he was very good in this as well. A pleasant, politically correct movie, often quite charming and funny.
