"I saw this movie when it first came out and I remember it vividly from over thirty years later. I recently saw it again, expecting the passage of time to have dimmed my fondness for it somewhat. It was just as wonderful as I remembered it, but I understood things at the age of 39 that I did not at ten. Melvyn Douglas and Gene Hackman deservedly got Oscar nominations for their splendid work here. There is also a marvelous script, also nominated for an Oscar. I expect I will remember the last line until I die. Most Highly Recommended..."
💡 Did You Know?
Gene Hackman had a rather abrasive relationship with Melvyn Douglas, who had wanted another actor to take the role of the son. Hackman never found out who this was, but said he used the estrangement between Douglas and himself to influence the playing of their scenes together.
