Signs of Life movie synopsis. A touching story of life in rural Maine, and the changes brought about by the closing of a town’s small boat-building company — on which many of the residents depended upon for a living.
Signs of Life, also known as One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, is a film by American director John David Coles, released May 5, 1989. The film stars Beau Bridges, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Arthur Kennedy (in his last film appearance). Kathy Bates, Mary-Louise Parker, Will Patton, and Kate Reid also are featured.
Signs of Life was filmed in various small-town locations in Maine, with the exception of an underwater sequence filmed at Mystic Marine Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut. It is the story of a Maine man who is losing his boat and his business. The film earned director Coles a Deauville Film Festival award, but was a financial loss.
