On Golden Pond (1981)
Country: US
Technical: col 109m
Director: Mark Rydell
Cast: Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, Jane Fonda
Synopsis:
Daughter and son-in-law visit ageing parents and old resentments re-emerge.
Review:
An alternately funny and moving family drama of the kind that gained currency at this time (Ordinary People, Terms of Endearment). It acquired added poignancy from the true-life nature of the reconciliation which seemed to be merely played out for the cameras. It also showed that two Hollywood has-beens could hold their own against relative newcomers (pun not intended).
