Review of On Golden Pond (1981) by Max W — 01 Jul 2007
Awww. If you just need a feel gooder, rent this gem from the early 80s. Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn have just about the best onscreen chemistry I've ever seen, they're a married couple in their 70s and 80s, and they could not be any sweeter. It's a tear jerker, so beware, but I had read the play and thought it was so sweet and well, I don't know that it could have been any sweeter. You really have to see it for those two actors -- I realized how shameful it was that I hadn't ever seen anything with Katherine Hepburn in it before. Shame. Fixing that ASAP.
Ethel: Listen to me, mister. You're my knight in shining armor. Don't forget it. You're going to get back on that horse and I'm going to be right behind you, holding on tight and away we're going to go, go, go!
