About
Wild River

Beautifully photographed, this very good Kazan film is set in 1930's Tennessee and has good lead performances from Montgomery Clift and Lee Remick. However, the best acting comes from the great theatre and character actress Jo Van Fleet as the feisty old woman who refuses to abandon her home and land which needs to be evacuated as it is about to be flooded. Look out for an uncredited Bruce Dern in his film debut.....
