Review of Wild River (1960) by George H — 25 Nov 2008
:fresh: :fresh: :fresh: [b][color=pink]1/2[/color][/b] (out of four).
[color=sandybrown]Sadly, underrated film about a old woman who refuses to give up her land when the Tennessee River Authority tries to move her before they flood the area with a new dam.[/color].

[color=#f4a460]Montgomery Clift is excellent in the lead and Lee Remick shines as the old woman's granddaughter. Best of all is Oscar winner Jo Van Fleet in a performance I liked even better than her Academy Award winning turn in [b][i]East of Eden[/i][/b].[/color].

[color=#f4a460]A real treat.[/color].
