Anthony Hopkins makes his Stephen King debut in the adaptation of "Low Men in Yellow Coats", his introductory entry in the Hearts In Atlantis collection.  The novella tackled abandonment, rape, the end of childhood, young love, corruption of the innocent, determination of the human spirit, and the strength to continue fighting the system.  Can the movie successfully convey these themes?  Find out...
