Watching movie Witness, HIGH ANXIETY, just right for the times. ;-(

After witnessing a brutal murder, young Amish boy Samuel (Lukas Haas) and his mother Rachel (Kelly McGillis) seek protection from police officer John Book (Harrison Ford). When Book uncovers evidence of police corruption involving narcotics lieutenant James McFee (Danny Glover), Book must take Rachel and Samuel, and flee to the Amish countryside where Rachel grew up. There, immersed in Amish culture and tradition, Book and Rachel begin a cautious romance.

Saw the movie when it first came out. I thought they did a pretty good job. But where I lived they referred to us as “Yankees” rather than “English”.
