It is such a great drama with anger and personalities pitted against each other. The part that impresses me the most is that with all the anger in the movie, there is no vile language. It should be an inspiration to modern film makers that a great movie can be made without sex, violence, filthy language and car crashes. I am no prude; I do my share of cussing. I just think that we should have more movies like this with a lot of emotion shown without stooping to the stock attractions.
I see it again and again and never tire of it. I am sorry that with all the great acting Henry Fonda did that he never won an acedemy award except for the fake one for “On Golden Pond” just given to him out of guilt.
