The Whole Wide World takes place in the 1930s and is based on the memoirs of Novalyne Price Ellis from her book: “One Who Walked Alone: Robert E. Howard, The Final Years”.
Renée Zellweger is Novalyne Price Ellis (1908 – 1999), a schoolteacher in Texas. Novalyne is shy, but wants to become a writer and a friend offers to introduce her to the pulp fiction writer Robert E. Howard (Vincent D’Onofrio) who was the creator of “Conan the Barbarian”.
Novalyne initially wants Howard’s advice and opinion on her writings, but despite personality differences and misunderstandings, they have common interests and gravitate to each other.
Novalyne likes Howard and he seems to like her, although she finds him a difficult man to deal with. Howard lives in his world of his stories about superhuman heroes and in addition does his bedridden mother take much of his time, which leaves him little time for romance …
