Wild River (1960)

A young bureaucrat for the Tennessee Valley Authority goes to rural Tennessee to oversee the building of a dam. He encounters opposition from the local people, in particular a farmer who objects to his employment (with pay) of local black laborers. Much of the plot revolves around the eviction of a stubborn octogenarian from her home on an island in the river, and the young man's love affair with that woman's widowed granddaughter. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with The Film Foundation.

fascinating performances and really interesting handling of social tensions - quite odd in places though - montgomery clift in particular.

Pride is the only one of the seven deadly sins that is frequently confused with virtue.

A compelling story, beautifully acted. Many of the scenes have extraordinary cinematography for its time. To my knowledge, "Wild River" was released neither on videotape nor DVD. Not a commercial milestone for 20th Century Fox, this unflinching drama uses its Volunteer State locations to great effect.

A terrific drama, multiple dramas - among those, how progress disrupts & tramples at times - that unfolds during the running time of this overlooked film. Somewhat in the tone of "Winter's Bone" but better in 1960 Cinemascope, this film should have received more notice & awards - including a Best Actress nomination for Lee Remick who is un'made-up luminous in a performance with many shades of subtlety & boldness. At about 1:30 is one of the most passionate love scenes in all of cinema where the lovers are fully clothed across the room from each other. Bravo. Will appeal to adult (50+) audiences especially - and film school students. It also will appeal to those with roots & memories in the region how these performances ring true. | ~ Norm de Guerre

Elia Kazan uses color brilliantly in this film, giving it an autumnal tone and atmosphere that emphasizes its quiet sadness. Beautifully subdued and patiently paced, the movie's power settles in a few minutes after the closing credits have rolled. Montgomery Clift's performance is outstanding, and he shares great screen chemistry with Lee Remick. I was forced to watch this picture on Youtube, but its potency shone through despite the bad quality of the transfer.
