In His Father's Shoes

A forty-ish cancer-stricken, emaciated Frank Crosby (Louis Gossett, Jr.) and his fifteen-year-old son Clay (Robert Ri'chard), who is the healthful, youthful image of his father, are spending an afternoon enjoying the atmosphere of Venice Beach. They enter Oddities, a store where the gypsy woman owner gives them a pair of special wing-tip shoes.
