Adam at 6 A.M. is a 1970 American film directed by Robert Scheerer. The film did not receive much attention when it was released, but was the second starring role for Michael Douglas. The movie was filmed almost entirely on location in the small Midwest town of Excelsior Springs, Missouri,[2] as well as Cameron, Missouri,[3] also filmed in Orrick Missouri.

Plot

The film revolves around Adam Gaines (Douglas), a semantics professor at a California college. He becomes complacent in his life and hears about the death of a relative in Missouri. He drives cross country to attend the funeral and pay his respects, and decides to spend the summer there working as a laborer. He meets Jerri Jo Hopper (Purcell) and falls in love, along the way developing new friendships with the town locals. He then must decide what direction he wants his life to go, whether to stay in Missouri or return to California.
