Perhaps a "soft focus" sensibility from 1971...

...soured the boxoffice from bigoted toughnecks like Fonda's powerful patriarch. I've met a few, and they really can be "bigger than life", with wicked humor.
I really liked how the "long haired college BOY" was being ribbed by Fonda - all the while being the MAN on the side with Lee Remick.
Great tone and dynamics throughout - politically incorrect far before the term was coined.
(I've seen the DVD available on line - and will eventually have to procure a copy.)
I liked "Ryans Daughter" as well - good is good regardless of popularity.

Based on Kesey book with one of the scariest scenes I've ever witnessed. - tinear 21:12:32 12/01/08 (3)

Disagree; it's a very credible attempt to recreate the novel - grinagog 23:34:50 12/01/08 (2)

I'm with you. - grhughes 07:22:19 12/02/08 (1)

You definitely should put SPOILER in your header when you give away - tinear 07:45:20 12/02/08 (0)
